Mammillaria is light, fast, and stateless file download micro-service that servered contents to be download by 3th partis.

Mammillaria uses JWT to protect contents from anonymous access while providing a direct link to contents.

Download API

The REST API to download a file is:

GET: {host}/api/v2/cactus/files/{token}/content

Where {host} is the full path of the server and {token} is a JWT token.

Token

Information of the file, access control, and other metadata are placed in the JWT token. There are several fields in the token to control Mammillaria. For more information about field in the token see document/token.md

Quick Start

Create a directory

mkdir mammillaria
cd mammillaria

Create a test file:

touch README.md
echo "#Hello world">>README.md
cd ..

First of all generate a token by executing the following command:

docker run -it \
	cactusio/mammillaria:latest \
	../bin/generate-token
