Configuration for Build

Enable Network Resilience Features

Create or update your config.toml:

[server]
listen_address = ":8080"
enable_dynamic_workers = true    # Enable dynamic scaling
worker_scale_up_thresh = 50      # Scale up threshold
worker_scale_down_thresh = 10    # Scale down threshold
deduplication_enabled = true     # Enable deduplication
max_upload_size = "10GB"         # Support large files

[uploads]
chunked_uploads_enabled = true   # Enable chunked uploads
resumable_uploads_enabled = true # Enable resumable uploads
chunk_size = "10MB"              # Optimal chunk size
max_resumable_age = "48h"        # Session persistence

[timeouts]
readtimeout = "4800s"            # 80 minutes for large files
writetimeout = "4800s"           # 80 minutes for large files  
idletimeout = "4800s"            # 80 minutes for large files

[deduplication]
enabled = true
maxsize = "1GB"                  # Deduplicate files under 1GB

[security]
secret = "your-super-secret-hmac-key-minimum-64-characters-recommended"

Testing the Build

1. Basic Functionality Test

# Test binary works
./hmac-file-server --help

# Test with config file
./hmac-file-server --config config.toml

2. Test Network Resilience Features

# Start server with chunked uploads enabled
./hmac-file-server --config config.toml

# In another terminal, test chunked upload endpoint
curl -X POST \
  -H "X-Filename: test.txt" \
  -H "X-Total-Size: 1024" \
  -H "X-Signature: $(echo -n '/upload/chunked' | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac 'your-secret' | cut -d' ' -f2)" \
  http://localhost:8080/upload/chunked

3. Run Go Tests

# Run existing tests
go test ./test/...

# Run with verbose output
go test -v ./test/...

# Run specific tests
go test -run TestUpload ./test/

Docker Build (Alternative)

Using Existing Docker Setup

# Build Docker image
./builddocker.sh

# Or manually
docker build -t hmac-file-server .

Run with Docker

# Start with docker-compose
cd dockerenv
docker-compose up -d

# Or run directly
docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -p 9090:9090 \
  -v $(pwd)/config:/etc/hmac-file-server \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/var/lib/hmac-file-server \
  hmac-file-server

Troubleshooting

Build Issues

Missing Dependencies

# Clean module cache and re-download
go clean -modcache
go mod download

Go Version Issues

# Check Go version
go version

# Update Go if needed (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo snap install go --classic

# Or download from https://golang.org/dl/

Network Resilience Files Missing

# Check if files exist
ls -la cmd/server/upload_session.go
ls -la cmd/server/network_resilience.go
ls -la cmd/server/chunked_upload_handler.go
ls -la cmd/server/integration.go

# If missing, the build will work but without network resilience features
# Core functionality remains unchanged

Runtime Issues

Port Already in Use

# Check what's using port 8080
sudo netstat -tlnp | grep :8080

# Kill process if needed
sudo kill $(sudo lsof -t -i:8080)

Permission Issues

# Make binary executable
chmod +x hmac-file-server

# For system service installation
sudo chown root:root hmac-file-server
sudo chmod 755 hmac-file-server

Config File Issues

# Validate config syntax
./hmac-file-server --config config.toml --validate

# Use example config as starting point
cp config-example-xmpp.toml config.toml

Build Performance

Faster Builds

# Use build cache
export GOCACHE=$(go env GOCACHE)

# Parallel builds
go build -p 4 cmd/server/*.go

# Skip tests during development
go build -a cmd/server/*.go

Smaller Binaries

# Strip debug info and symbol table
go build -ldflags="-s -w" cmd/server/*.go

# Use UPX compression (if installed)
upx --best hmac-file-server

Deployment

System Service

# Copy binary to system location
sudo cp hmac-file-server /usr/local/bin/

# Create systemd service
sudo cp hmac-file-server.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl enable hmac-file-server
sudo systemctl start hmac-file-server

Reverse Proxy Setup

# Nginx configuration
sudo cp nginx-hmac-file-server.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/hmac-file-server.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx

This build process ensures that:

  • Backward Compatibility: Works with or without network resilience files
  • Feature Detection: Automatically includes available network resilience features
  • Zero Downtime: Existing deployments continue working unchanged
  • Mobile Optimized: New features specifically address network switching issues
