About:

HaRTHub is a server directly tied to a GUI for sharing files. Instead of using the VFS (Virtual File System) method that most servers do, files are 'tagged', instead. This aims to be a person fileserver similar to KPF, but for the gnomedesktop. Ideally, one can just drag a file into the GUI and import it. Then, one can easily generate a link to the file and share it.

Features:

• Easy/Simple GUI
• Lightweight
• Easy setup
• Features upload capabilities

Tags:

A tag is similar to a directory in that it contains files, but there is a difference: files can have multiple tags, unlike in a VFS. In HaRTHub it is possible to 'hide', 'index' or 'share' tags.

• A hidden tag is not viewable from the root index of the server.
• An unindexed tag will not show its contents, but if a file is known it can be viewed in that tagspace.
• An unshared tag is unindexed and hidden as well as unaccessable, so it pretty much doesn't exist to outside users.

How to use:

Run with 'python harthub.py' and then mess around. The server runs by default on port 8000, but that can be changed. Once you import some files, browse to http://localhost:8000 and watch it in all its glory. To have friends upload a file, send them to http://localhost:8000/upload or the equivalent.

The current version is 016, and is not really done yet. Download it

Bugs:

There are a bunch of bugs, most probably. Notably, in a tag, there can only be one file with the same name, so if you import two files named 'README', one will get overwritten. I am currently thinking up ideas about how to fix this. There are probably more bugs, too, I just don't remember them off the top of my head.
