Link to running project

Getting started

Everything is setup through docker so all we need is to get the compose file running. There's a few required environment variables so we need to make sure those are provided. They should be all in the docker-compose file.

docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up -d --build

Components

There's a few components at play here. As seen in the docker-compose file.

• tusd server
  • Used by our frontend to upload the images
  • The tusd server will upload the image and notify the backend
• B2 Backblaze storage
  • We store the images here. We use S3 for the API so we could also replace with another S3 compatible storage
• Cache (Cloudflare)
  • Infront the B2 storage is a CDN so everything is fast
• Our server
  • This stores the list of pictures, serving it to the frontend
  • It also listens from tusd whenever there's a new picture uploaded
• Frontend
  • Built and served as a static file through our server
