Welcome to the official Jirafeau project, an Open-Source software.
Jirafeau allows your to "one-click-filesharing". It makes possible to upload a file in a simple way and give an unique link to it.
A demonstration of the latest version is available on jirafeau.net.
Latest CI Status:
Master

Jirafeau is a fork of the original project Jyraphe based on the 0.5 (stable version) with a lot of modifications.
As it's original project, Jirafeau is made in the KISS way (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
Jirafeau project won't evolve to a file manager and will focus to keep a very few dependencies.
- Installation - Step 1
- Installation - Step 2
- Installation - Step 3
- Installation - Step 4
- Upload - Step 1
- Upload - Step 2
- Upload - Progress
- Upload - Confirmation page
- Admin Interface
This shows how to install Jirafeau by your own, it's quite simple but you can also use a docker image or build it yourself. Check docker folder for more informations.
System requirements:
- PHP >= 5.6
- Optional, but recommended: Git >= 2.7
- No database required, no mail required
Installation steps:
- Clone the repository or download the latest (release from GitLab onto your webserver
- Set owner & group according to your webserver
- A) Setup with the installation wizard (web):
- Open your browser and go to your installed location, eg.
https://example.com/jirafeau/ - The script will redirect to you to a minimal installation wizard to set up all required options
- All optional parameters may be set in
lib/config.local.php, take a look atlib/config.original.phpto see all default values
- Open your browser and go to your installed location, eg.
- B) Setup without the installation wizard (cli):
- Just copy
config.original.phptoconfig.local.phpand customize it
- Just copy
- Backup your Jirafeau installation!
- Block access to Jirafeau
- Checkout the new version with Git using the tagged release
- If you have installed Jirafeau just by uploading files on your server, you can download the desired version, overwrite/remove all files and chown/chmod files if needed. Keep a backup of your local configuration file tough.
- With you browser, go to your Jirafeau root page
- Follow the installation wizard, it should propose you the same data folder or even update automatically
- Check your
/lib/config.local.phpand compare it with the/lib/config.original.phpto see if new configuration items are available
- The download URL changed
- Add a rewrite rule in your web server configuration to rename
file.phptof.phpto make older, still existing links work again
- Add a rewrite rule in your web server configuration to rename
- The default theme changed
- Optionally change the theme in
lib/config.local.phpto »courgette«
- Optionally change the theme in
- The "Terms of Service" text file changed
- To reuse previous changes to the ToS, move the old
/tos_text.phpfile to/lib/tos.local.txtand remove all HTML und PHP Tags, leaving a regular text file
- To reuse previous changes to the ToS, move the old
There is nothing special to do to update from/to the following versions:
- 2.0.0 -> 3.0.0
- 3.0.0 -> 3.1.0
- 3.1.0 -> 3.2.0
- 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
- 3.2.1 -> 3.3.0
If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
- Check your
/lib/config.local.phpfile and compare it with/lib/config.original.php, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed - Check owner & permissions of your files
var directory contain all files and links. It is randomly named to limit access but you may add better protection to prevent un-authorized access to it.
You have several options:
- Configure a
.htaccess - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
- Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your var folder:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau
If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
location ~ /var-.* {
deny all;
return 404;
}If you are using lighttpd, you can deny access to var folder in your configuration:
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/var-*" {
url.access-deny = ("")
}
You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
An other obvious basic security is to let access users to the site by HTTPS (make sure web_root in you config.local.php is set with https).
Data encryption can be activated in options. This feature makes the server encrypt data and send the decryt key to the user (inside download URL). The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content. In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
- Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
- During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
- This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
- File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
- Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
- Don't forget to enable https.
In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

and the Contribution Guidelines
Of course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required.
Simply go to Jirafeau's Weblate.
If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in ticket #9.
We would like to thank all anonymous contributors on weblate. :)
See upgrade instructions above.
There are two ways to limit upload access (but not download):
- you can set one or more passwords in order to access the upload interface, or/and
- you can configure a list of authorized IP (CIDR notation) which are allowed to access to the upload page
Check documentation of upload_password and upload_ip parameters in lib/config.original.php.
You can call the admin.php script from the command line (CLI) with the clean_expired or clean_async commands: sudo -u www-data php admin.php clean_expired.
Then the command can be placed in a cron file to automatize the process. For example:
# m h dom mon dow user command
12 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_expired
16 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_async
If you have some strange behavior with IE, you may configure compatibility mode.
Anyway I would recommend you to use another web browser. :)
You may change the default theme to any of the existing ones or a custom.
Open your lib/config.local.php and change setting in the »style« key to the name of any folder in the /media directory.
Hint: To create a custom theme just copy the »courgette« folder and name your theme »custom« (this way it will be ignored by git and not overwritten during updates). You are invited to enhance the existing themes and send pull requests however.
Feel free to open a bug in the GitLab's issues.
If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want.
For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration. You have to set post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in your php configuration.
If you don't want to allow unlimited upload size, you can still setup a maximal file size in Jirafeau's setting (see maximal_upload_size in your configuration)
Documentation of all default options are located in lib/config.original.php.
If you want to change an option, just edit your lib/config.local.php.
The license text on the "Terms of Service" page, which is shipped with the default installation, is based on the »Open Source Initiative Terms of Service«.
To change this text simply copy the file /lib/tos.original.txt, rename it to /lib/tos.local.txt and adapt it to your own needs.
If you update the installation, then only the tos.original.txt file may change eventually, not your tos.local.txt file.
Just go to /admin.php.
Simply go to /script.php with your web browser.
Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts.
If you're using nginx, you might need to increase client_max_body_size or remove the restriction altogether. In your nginx.conf:
http {
# disable max upload size
client_max_body_size 0;
# add timeouts for very large uploads
client_header_timeout 30m;
client_body_timeout 30m;
}You may use Munin and simple scripts to collect the number of files in the Jirafeau instance as well as the disk space occupied by all the files. You can consult this web page.
The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version.
Check issues to check open bugs and incoming new stuff. :)
Jirafeau uses a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization.
This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter.
If someone use his/her delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file.
When the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed.
As explained in the previous question, files with the same md5 hash are not duplicated and a reference counter stores the number of links pointing to a single file. So:
- The button "delete link" will delete the reference to the file but might not destroy the file.
- The button "delete file and links" will delete all references pointing to the file and will destroy the file.
Feel free to create an issue if you found a bug.
