DSV play storage

This application has two jobs:

• handle new uploads and places them in the daemon's processing queue.
• serve presentation files after verifying valid access rights

In order for file serving to work, the hosting web server must support the X-Sendfile header.

Python dependencies

The application runs on python3. Its dependencies require python development libraries to work, e.g. python3-dev on Debian. Dependencies are listed in requirements.txt.

The directory ./venv is exempted from git for ease of virtualenv use.

Setup

The application requires a database and two writable directories. A dump of the schema is available for import from ./db.sql.

The required writable directories are ./queue and ./storage. Both may be symbolic links.

Remaining settings should be set in ./config.ini. The format is documented in ./config.ini.example.

API reference

The API always returns JSON objects on successful requests unless otherwise noted.

/presentation

GET a list of all available presentation IDs.

/presentation/{{PACKAGEID}}

GET the package information for PACKAGEID.

DELETE PACKAGEID. Requires authentication as configured in config.ini.

This should change to a bearer token to align with other authenticated resources.

/presentation/{{PACKAGEID}}/{{PATH}}[?token={{TOKEN}}]

GET the file at PATH in PACKAGEID. TOKEN is required for all files except images.

/notify

Deprecated in favor of the origin-specific subpaths default, mediasite and cattura.

GET a brief description of the incoming package format.

POST a package to be processed.

/notify/hold

Same as /notify, but packages submitted this way are put on hold.

/notify/default

/notify/cattura

POST a package to be processed from a cattura recorder webhook.
