# Vault
Vault is an opinionated web-based file manager. It is built in C for OpenBSD around the CGI standard, following these main principles:
* __secure__: a great amount of time has been devoted to avoid undefined behaviour and security issues
* __simple__: browse, create and delete folders; download and upload files. JavaScript support is optional on the client side and its absence should be handled gracefully. Everything should work from a terminal-based web browser
* __fast__: with the server running on an ARM SBC, there should not be any noticeable delay when loading a page
It should also compile and run on any POSIX OS with minor modifications, although this has not been tested (yet).
## Configure
The parameters and their documentation are in the `config.h` source file. You should read and adjust this file as needed before you build. The default config assumes a chrooted web server and sets a data directory `/vault-data` (that is `/var/www/vault-data` outside of the chroot).
## Build & run
Vault comes with a Makefile:
$ make
# make install
The vault binary will be installed as `/var/www/cgi-bin/vault`. You need to configure your web server accordingly. If the log file does not exist, you need to create it. Here is how to do it for a default installation:
# mkdir -p /var/www/var/log
# touch /var/www/var/log/vault.log
# chown www /var/www/var/log/vault.log
By default on OpenBSD, the `slowcgi(8)` daemon allows a timeout of 2 minutes for CGI programs. This might not be enough if you want to allow users to download large files. This timeout can be increased by changing the `slowcgi(8)` parameters in `/etc/rc.conf.local`, for example to allow up to 10 minutes :
slowcgi_flags="-t 600"
