## About?
_cryptgeon_ is a secure, open source sharing note or file service inspired by [_PrivNote_](https://privnote.com)
> 🌍 If you want to translate the project feel free to reach out to me.
>
> Thanks to [Lokalise](https://lokalise.com/) for providing free access to their platform.
## Demo
Check out the demo and see for yourself https://cryptgeon.nicco.io.
## Features
- server cannot decrypt contents due to client side encryption
- view or time constraints
- in memory, no persistence
- obligatory dark mode support
## How does it work?
each note has a generated id (256bit) and key 256(bit). The
id
is used to save & retrieve the note. the note is then encrypted with aes in gcm mode on the
client side with the key and then sent to the server. data is stored in memory and
never persisted to disk. the server never sees the encryption key and cannot decrypt the contents
of the notes even if it tried to.

## Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
| ---------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `REDIS` | `redis://redis/` | Redis URL to connect to. |
| `SIZE_LIMIT` | `1 KiB` | Max size for body. Accepted values according to [byte-unit](https://docs.rs/byte-unit/).
`512 MiB` is the maximum allowed.
The frontend will show that number including the ~35% encoding overhead. |
| `MAX_VIEWS` | `100` | Maximal number of views. |
| `MAX_EXPIRATION` | `360` | Maximal expiration in minutes. |
| `ALLOW_ADVANCED` | `true` | Allow custom configuration. If set to `false` all notes will be one view only. |
| `THEME_IMAGE` | `""` | Custom image for replacing the logo. Must be publicly reachable |
| `THEME_TEXT` | `""` | Custom text for replacing the description below the logo |
## Deployment
ℹ️ `https` is required otherwise browsers will not support the cryptographic functions.
### Docker
Docker is the easiest way. There is the [official image here](https://hub.docker.com/r/cupcakearmy/cryptgeon).
```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
redis:
image: redis:7-alpine
app:
image: cupcakearmy/cryptgeon:latest
depends_on:
- redis
environment:
SIZE_LIMIT: 4 MiB
ports:
- 80:5000
```
### NGINX Proxy
See the [examples/nginx](https://github.com/cupcakearmy/cryptgeon/tree/main/examples/nginx) folder. There an example with a simple proxy, and one with https. You need to specify the server names and certificates.
### Traefik 2
Assumptions:
- External proxy docker network `proxy`
- A certificate resolver `le`
- A https entrypoint `secure`
- Domain name `example.org`
```yaml
version: '3.8'
networks:
proxy:
external: true
services:
redis:
image: redis:7-alpine
restart: unless-stopped
app:
image: cupcakearmy/cryptgeon:latest
restart: unless-stopped
depends_on:
- redis
networks:
- default
- proxy
labels:
- traefik.enable=true
- traefik.http.routers.cryptgeon.rule=Host(`example.org`)
- traefik.http.routers.cryptgeon.entrypoints=secure
- traefik.http.routers.cryptgeon.tls.certresolver=le
```
## Development
**Requirements**
- `pnpm`: `>=6`
- `node`: `>=16`
- `rust`: edition `2021`
**Install**
```bash
pnpm install
pnpm --prefix frontend install
# Also you need cargo watch if you don't already have it installed.
# https://lib.rs/crates/cargo-watch
cargo install cargo-watch
```
**Run**
Make sure you have docker running.
> If you are on `macOS` you might need to disable AirPlay Receiver as it uses port 5000 (So stupid...)
> https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/682332
```bash
pnpm run dev
```
Running `pnpm run dev` in the root folder will start the following things:
- redis docker container
- rust backend
- client
You can see the app under [localhost:1234](http://localhost:1234).
## Tests
Tests are end to end tests written with Playwright.
```sh
pnpm run ci:prepare
docker compose up redis -d
pnpm run ci:server
# In another terminal.
# Use the test or test:local script. The local version only runs in one browser for quicker development.
pnpm run test:local
```
