      1 The Null Pointer
      2 ================
      3 
      4 This is a no-bullshit file hosting and URL shortening service that also runs
      5 `0x0.st <https://0x0.st>`_. Use with uWSGI.
      6 
      7 If you are running nginx, you should use the ``X-Accel-Redirect`` header.
      8 To make it work, include this in your nginx config’s ``server`` block::
      9 
     10     location /up {
     11         internal;
     12     }
     13 
     14 where ``/up`` is whatever you’ve configured as ``FHOST_STORAGE_PATH``
     15 in ``fhost.py``.
     16 
     17 For all other servers, set ``FHOST_USE_X_ACCEL_REDIRECT`` to ``False`` and
     18 ``USE_X_SENDFILE`` to ``True``, assuming your server supports this.
     19 Otherwise, Flask will serve the file with chunked encoding, which sucks and
     20 should be avoided at all costs.
     21 
     22 To make files expire, simply create a cronjob that runs ``cleanup.py`` every
     23 now and then.
     24 
     25 Before running the service for the first time, run ``./fhost.py db upgrade``.

     28 NSFW Detection
     29 --------------
     30 
     31 0x0 supports classification of NSFW content via Yahoo’s open_nsfw Caffe
     32 neural network model. This works for images and video files and requires
     33 the following:
     34 
     35 * Caffe Python module (built for Python 3)
     36 * ``ffmpegthumbnailer`` executable in ``$PATH``

     39 FAQ
     40 ---
     41 
     42 Q:
     43     Will you ever add a web interface with HTML forms?
     44 A:
     45     No. This would without a doubt make it very popular and quickly exceed
     46     my hosting budget unless I started crippling it.
     47 
     48 Q:
     49     What about file management? Will I be able to register an account at some
     50     point?
     51 A:
     52     No.
     53 
     54 Q:
     55     Why are you storing IP addresses with each uploaded file?
     56 A:
     57     This is done to make dealing with legal claims and accidental uploads
     58     easier, e.g. when a user requests removal of all text files uploaded from
     59     a certain address within a given time frame (it happens).
     60 
     61 Q:
     62     Do you accept donations?
     63 A:
     64     Only if you insist. I’ve spent very little time and effort on this service
     65     and I don’t feel like I should be taking money for it.
