+# HMAC File Server 3.2 – Tremora del Terra
+
+[](https://github.com/PlusOne/hmac-file-server)
+[](LICENSE)
+[](https://golang.org/)
+[](https://github.com/PlusOne/hmac-file-server)
+
+A high-performance, secure file server implementing XEP-0363 (HTTP File Upload) with HMAC authentication, deduplication, and multi-architecture support.
+
+---
+
+## What's New in 3.2 "Tremora del Terra"
+
+### Configuration Revolution
+- **93% Config Reduction**: From 112-line complex configs to 8-line minimal configs
+- **Smart Defaults**: Production-ready settings built into the application
+- **Auto-Generation**: `--genconfig` creates minimal configs instantly
+- **Zero Breaking Changes**: Existing configs continue working
+
+### Enhanced Performance
+- **Fixed Deduplication**: Existing files return success instead of "file not found"
+- **Queue Optimization**: Doubled capacity (50→100), faster scaling (80%→40% threshold)
+- **Extended Timeouts**: 4800s defaults for large file reliability
+- **Session Persistence**: 60-minute timeouts for enterprise transfers
+
+### Multi-Architecture Support
+- **Cross-Platform**: AMD64, ARM64, ARM32v7 with native performance
+- **Interactive Builder**: Easy architecture targeting with menu system
+- **Production Ready**: All platforms enterprise-grade
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Option 1: Minimal Configuration (Recommended)
+```bash
+# Download HMAC File Server 3.2
+wget https://github.com/PlusOne/hmac-file-server/releases/download/v3.2/hmac-file-server-linux-amd64
+chmod +x hmac-file-server-linux-amd64
+
+# Generate minimal config
+./hmac-file-server-linux-amd64 -genconfig > config.toml
+
+# Edit 3 essential settings:
+# - listen_address = "8080"
+# - storage_path = "/your/storage/path"
+# - secret = "your-secure-secret"
+
+# Start server
+./hmac-file-server-linux-amd64 -config config.toml
+```
+
+### Option 2: Zero-Config Startup
+```bash
+# Auto-creates minimal config
+./hmac-file-server-linux-amd64
+# Follow prompts to customize settings
+```

+
+## Configuration Generation
+
+### Generate Minimal Configuration
+```bash
+# Create minimal 8-line config (recommended for most users)
+./hmac-file-server -genconfig > config.toml
+```
+
+**Output Example:**
+```toml
+# HMAC File Server - Minimal Configuration
+[server]
+listen_address = "8080"
+storage_path = "./uploads"
+
+[security]
+secret = "your-very-secret-hmac-key"
+
+[logging]
+level = "info"
+file = "/var/log/hmac-file-server.log"
+```
+
+### Generate Advanced Configuration
+```bash
+# Create comprehensive config template with all options
+./hmac-file-server -genconfig-advanced > config-advanced.toml
+```
+
+### Write Configuration to File
+```bash
+# Write minimal config to specific file
+./hmac-file-server -genconfig-path /etc/hmac-file-server/config.toml
+
+# Write advanced config to specific file
+./hmac-file-server -genconfig-advanced -genconfig-path /etc/hmac-file-server/config-full.toml
+```
+
+### Configuration Validation
+```bash
+# Validate configuration without starting server
+./hmac-file-server -validate-config -config config.toml
+
+# Quiet validation (errors only)
+./hmac-file-server -validate-quiet -config config.toml
+
+# Verbose validation with system checks
+./hmac-file-server -validate-verbose -config config.toml
+
+# Security-focused validation
+./hmac-file-server -check-security -config config.toml
+
+# Performance-focused validation
+./hmac-file-server -check-performance -config config.toml

+## XEP-0363 Implementation
+
+### XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload
+
+HMAC File Server implements [XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html) with HMAC authentication for secure file sharing in XMPP environments.
+
+#### Protocol Flow
+
+1. **Discovery**: Client discovers upload service
+2. **Request Slot**: Client requests upload/download URLs
+3. **Upload**: Client uploads file to provided PUT URL
+4. **Share**: Client shares GET URL with contacts
+5. **Download**: Recipients download using GET URL
+
+#### Implementation Details
+

+
+[Binary file data]
+
+
+
+ Check out this document:
+
+ https://files.example.com/download/document.pdf
+
+
+```
+
+#### HMAC Authentication
+
+HMAC File Server uses HMAC-SHA256 for authentication:
+
+```
+message = filename + filesize + timestamp + upload_id
+signature = base64(hmac_sha256(secret, message))
+```
+
+#### Configuration for XEP-0363
+
+```toml
+[server]
+listen_address = "8080"
+storage_path = "/var/lib/hmac-file-server/uploads"
+
+[security]

+
+## API Versions
+
+### Overview
+
+HMAC File Server supports multiple API versions to ensure compatibility with different XMPP clients and custom integrations.
+
+### V1 API (Legacy Support)
+
+**Endpoint**: `/api/v1/upload`
+**Authentication**: Basic HMAC
+**Usage**: Legacy XMPP clients, basic integrations
+
+```bash
+# V1 Upload
+curl -X POST "https://files.example.com/api/v1/upload" \
+ -H "Authorization: HMAC-SHA256 signature" \
+ -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
+ -F "file=@document.pdf"
+
+# Response
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "url": "https://files.example.com/download/document.pdf",
+ "filename": "document.pdf",
+ "size": 1048576
+}
+```
+
+### V2 API (Enhanced)
+
+**Endpoint**: `/api/v2/upload`
+**Authentication**: Enhanced HMAC with timestamps
+**Usage**: Modern XMPP clients, advanced features
+
+```bash
+# V2 Upload with metadata
+curl -X POST "https://files.example.com/api/v2/upload" \
+ -H "Authorization: HMAC-SHA256-V2 signature" \
+ -H "X-Upload-Timestamp: 1642678800" \
+ -H "X-Upload-ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000" \
+ -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
+ -F "file=@document.pdf" \
+ -F "metadata={\"title\":\"My Document\",\"tags\":[\"important\"]}"
+
+# Response
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "version": "v2",
+ "upload_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
+ "url": "https://files.example.com/download/document.pdf",
+ "thumbnail_url": "https://files.example.com/thumbnail/document.pdf",
+ "filename": "document.pdf",
+ "size": 1048576,
+ "content_type": "application/pdf",
+ "checksum": "sha256:d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2d2",
+ "expires_at": "2024-01-21T12:00:00Z",
+ "metadata": {
+ "title": "My Document",
+ "tags": ["important"]
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### V3 API (Custom/Experimental)
+
+**Endpoint**: `/api/v3/upload`
+**Authentication**: JWT or Enhanced HMAC
+**Usage**: Custom clients, experimental features
+**Note**: V3 is not a defined standard - custom implementation
+
+```bash
+# V3 Upload with JWT
+curl -X POST "https://files.example.com/api/v3/upload" \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..." \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{
+ "filename": "document.pdf",
+ "content_type": "application/pdf",

+class HMACFileClient {
+ constructor(baseUrl, secret) {
+ this.baseUrl = baseUrl;
+ this.secret = secret;
+ }
+
+ async upload(file, metadata = {}) {
+ const timestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
+ const uploadId = this.generateUUID();
+ const message = `POST/api/v2/upload${timestamp}${uploadId}${file.name}${file.size}`;
+ const signature = await this.hmacSHA256(this.secret, message);
+
+ const formData = new FormData();
+ formData.append('file', file);
+ formData.append('metadata', JSON.stringify(metadata));
+
+ const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/api/v2/upload`, {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: {
+ 'Authorization': `HMAC-SHA256-V2 ${signature}`,
+ 'X-Upload-Timestamp': timestamp.toString(),
+ 'X-Upload-ID': uploadId
+ },
+ body: formData
+ });
+
+ return response.json();
+ }
+
+ async hmacSHA256(key, message) {
+ const encoder = new TextEncoder();
+ const keyData = encoder.encode(key);
+ const messageData = encoder.encode(message);
+
+ const cryptoKey = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
+ 'raw', keyData, { name: 'HMAC', hash: 'SHA-256' }, false, ['sign']
+ );
+
+ const signature = await crypto.subtle.sign('HMAC', cryptoKey, messageData);
+ return btoa(String.fromCharCode(...new Uint8Array(signature)));
+ }
+
+ generateUUID() {
+ return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, (c) => {
+ const r = Math.random() * 16 | 0;
+ const v = c === 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8);
+ return v.toString(16);
+ });
+ }
+}
+```
+
+#### Python (V3 API with JWT)

+import jwt
+import requests
+import json
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+
+class HMACFileClientV3:
+ def __init__(self, base_url, jwt_secret):
+ self.base_url = base_url

+ 'exp': datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=1),
+ 'iat': datetime.utcnow(),
+ 'scope': scopes
+ }
+ return jwt.encode(payload, self.jwt_secret, algorithm='HS256')
+
+ def upload(self, filename, content_type, size, user_id='anonymous'):
+ token = self.generate_token(user_id)
+
+ headers = {
+ 'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}',
+ 'Content-Type': 'application/json'
+ }
+
+ data = {
+ 'filename': filename,
+ 'content_type': content_type,
+ 'size': size,
+ 'options': {
+ 'chunked': True,
+ 'resumable': True
+ }
+ }
+
+ response = requests.post(

+## 📋 What's New in Detail
+
+### Configuration Simplification
+The biggest change in 3.2 is the revolutionary approach to configuration:
+
+**Before (3.1.x):**
+```toml
+# 112 lines of complex configuration
+[server]
+listen_address = ":8080"
+storage_path = "/srv/hmac-file-server/uploads"
+metrics_enabled = true
+metrics_path = "/metrics"
+pid_file = "/var/run/hmac-file-server.pid"
+max_upload_size = "10GB"
+max_header_bytes = 1048576
+cleanup_interval = "24h"
+max_file_age = "720h"
+# ... 100+ more lines
+```
+
+**Now (3.2):**
+```toml
+# Just 8 lines for production deployment!
+[server]
+listen_address = "8080"
+storage_path = "/opt/hmac-file-server/data/uploads"
+
+[security]
+secret = "your-production-secret"
+
+[logging]
+level = "info"
+file = "/var/log/hmac-file-server.log"
+```
+
+### Deduplication Intelligence
+- **Fixed "File Not Found" Bug**: Existing file uploads now return proper success messages
+- **Pre-Upload Detection**: Check file existence before upload attempt
+- **Instant Responses**: No more false errors for duplicate files
+- **Performance Optimized**: Hash-based deduplication with 1GB storage limits
+
+### Queue & Performance Enhancements
+- **Doubled Queue Capacity**: `uploadqueuesize` 50→100 for better throughput
+- **Faster Worker Scaling**: Scale up at 40% queue depth instead of 80%
+- **Extended Session Timeouts**: 30m→60m for large file reliability
+- **Smart Timeout Management**: 4800s defaults for enterprise-grade transfers
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Migration Guide
+
+### From 3.1.x to 3.2
+
+**Option 1: Keep Your Existing Config (Recommended)**
+Your current `config.toml` will continue working without changes. The new defaults enhance performance automatically.
+
+**Option 2: Migrate to Simplified Config**
+1. Backup your current config: `cp config.toml config-3.1-backup.toml`
+2. Generate new minimal config: `./hmac-file-server -genconfig > config-simple.toml`
+3. Copy your custom values (storage_path, secret, etc.) to the new config
+4. Test with: `./hmac-file-server -config config-simple.toml`
+
+**Breaking Changes:**
+- None! Full backward compatibility maintained
+- Field mappings updated internally (transparent to users)
