+# storage-upload
+
+Docker micro service for uploading files to a storage server.
+
+# Usage
+
+storage-upload listens on port 4020 by default. Since the storage upload needs a place to store the uploaded files, it's important to map the `/app/public` folder to either locally or some volume.
+
+In addition it's recommended to also map the config file `/app/config/config.production.json` which should include a list of accepted sites and the corresponding json web token secret.
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name storage-upload \
+  -v /path/to/store/files:/app/public \
+  -v /path/to/config/file.json:/app/config/config.production.json \
+  -p 4000:4020
+  nfpis/storage-upload
+```
+
+### Config
+
+The config file should look something like this:
+
+`config.production.json`
+```json
+{
+  "sites": {
+    "site1": "site1-secret",
+    "site2": "site2-secret"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The server checks the token in the query for supported site name and then verifies the secret match. To generate a token valid to upload to `site2` above, you can run something like this:
+
+```node
+const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken')
+
+let token = jwt.sign({ site: 'site2' }, 'site2-secret')
+// eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzaXRlIjoic2l0ZTIifQ.Ovz7fnTMzaWOLOhnbkMtqHPk20EVqhCD8WDsLKk_Wv0
+```
+
+*Hint: Post the above token to https://jwt.io/ and check it out.*
+
+Using the above token would save the requested file under `/app/public/site2/` folder
