Introduction
The HMAC File Server is a secure and efficient file management solution designed to handle file uploads, downloads, deduplication, and more. Built with a focus on security, scalability, and performance, it integrates seamlessly with various tools and services to provide a comprehensive file handling experience.
Configuration
The HMAC File Server is configured using a config.toml
file. Below are the detailed explanations of each configuration section and their respective options.

loglevel = "debug" # Logging level: "debug", "info", "warn", "error"
logfile = "/path/to/hmac-file-server.log" # Path to log file; leave empty to use stdout
metricsenabled = true # Enable Prometheus metrics
metricsport = "9090" # Port for Prometheus metrics
deduplicationenabled = true
minfreebytes = "5GB" # Minimum free disk space required
filettl = "2Y" # Time-to-live for files
filettlenabled = false # Enable TTL checks and cleanup
autoadjustworkers = true # Automatically adjust worker threads based on load

Setup Instructions
1. HMAC File Server Installation
To install the HMAC File Server, follow these steps:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/PlusOne/hmac-file-server.git cd hmac-file-server
-
Build the server:
go build -o hmac-file-server ./cmd/server/main.go
-
Create the necessary directories:
mkdir -p /path/to/hmac-file-server/data/ mkdir -p /path/to/hmac-file-server/deduplication/ mkdir -p /path/to/hmac-file-server/iso/
-
Copy the example configuration file:
cp config.example.toml config.toml
-
Edit the
config.toml
file to match your environment and preferences. -
Start the server:
./hmac-file-server -config config.toml
2. Reverse Proxy Configuration
To set up a reverse proxy for the HMAC File Server, you can use either Apache2 or Nginx. Below are the configuration examples for both.
Apache2 Reverse Proxy
-
Enable the necessary Apache2 modules:
sudo a2enmod proxy sudo a2enmod proxy_http sudo a2enmod headers sudo a2enmod rewrite
-
Create a new virtual host configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/hmac-file-server.conf
-
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName your-domain.com ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ <Location /> Require all granted Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" Header always set X-Frame-Options "DENY" Header always set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" </Location> </VirtualHost>
-
Enable the new site and restart Apache2:
sudo a2ensite hmac-file-server.conf sudo systemctl restart apache2
Nginx Reverse Proxy
-
Install Nginx if not already installed:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nginx
-
Create a new server block configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/hmac-file-server
-
Add the following configuration to the file:
server { listen 80; server_name your-domain.com; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:8080; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"; proxy_set_header X-Frame-Options "DENY"; proxy_set_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"; } }
-
Enable the new site and restart Nginx:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/hmac-file-server /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ sudo systemctl restart nginx
Proxy Best Practices & Recommendations
For production deployments, consider the following reverse proxy best practices:
- Timeouts: Set reasonable timeouts (e.g.,
proxy_read_timeout 300;
in Nginx) to avoid hanging connections. - Buffer Sizes: Increase buffer sizes for large file uploads/downloads if needed (e.g.,
client_max_body_size 2G;
in Nginx). - Headers: Always set security headers (
X-Content-Type-Options
,X-Frame-Options
,X-XSS-Protection
). - Forwarded Headers: Ensure
X-Forwarded-For
andX-Forwarded-Proto
are set for correct client IP and protocol logging. - HTTP/2: Enable HTTP/2 for better performance if supported by your proxy and clients.
- SSL/TLS: Terminate SSL at the proxy and use strong ciphers. Redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
- Health Checks: Configure health checks for the backend server to enable automatic failover or alerting.
- Access Controls: Restrict access to the management endpoints (e.g.,
/metrics
) to trusted IPs only.
See the official Nginx and Apache documentation for more advanced tuning options.

sudo systemctl restart ejabberd
4. Systemd Service Setup
To set up the HMAC File Server as a systemd service, follow these steps:
-
Create a new systemd service file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/hmac-file-server.service
-
Add the following configuration to the file:
[Unit] Description=HMAC File Server After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=/path/to/hmac-file-server -config /path/to/config.toml WorkingDirectory=/path/to/hmac-file-server Restart=always User=www-data Group=www-data [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
-
Reload systemd and enable the service:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable hmac-file-server sudo systemctl start hmac-file-server
Running with Docker & Docker Compose
You can run the HMAC File Server using Docker and Docker Compose for easy deployment and environment management.
Docker Compose Example

Docker Build
The official Dockerfile supports multi-stage builds for minimal images:
# Stage 1: Build
FROM golang:1.24-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /build
RUN apk add --no-cache git
COPY go.mod go.sum ./
RUN go mod download
COPY . .
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o hmac-file-server ./cmd/server/main.go
# Stage 2: Runtime
FROM alpine:latest
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates
RUN mkdir -p /opt/hmac-file-server/data/uploads \
&& mkdir -p /opt/hmac-file-server/data/duplicates \
&& mkdir -p /opt/hmac-file-server/data/temp \
&& mkdir -p /opt/hmac-file-server/data/logs
WORKDIR /opt/hmac-file-server
COPY --from=builder /build/hmac-file-server .
EXPOSE 8080
