NedMed: Self-Hosted Media Uploader

NedMed is a simple self-hosted application for uploading and storing media files on your local machine or self-hosted server, with PostgreSQL integration for metadata storage. It uses a Go backend for handling file uploads and a Svelte/TypeScript frontend for a modern user interface.

Features

• File uploading with preview
• Storage of files on the local/self-hosted server
• PostgreSQL database integration for storing file metadata

Getting Started

Requirements

• Docker and Docker Compose
• Git (for cloning the repository)

Quick Start with Docker

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/nedmed.git
   cd nedmed
   

2. Create a .env file in the root directory:

   DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@host:port/database
   DB_USER=user
   DB_PASSWORD=password
   DB_DATABASE=database
   BACKEND_URL = http://localhost:3000
   

3. Start the application:

   docker-compose up --build
   

The application will be available at: http://localhost:3000

Manual Setup (Development)

If you prefer to run the services without Docker, follow these steps:

Requirements

• Go (https://go.dev/doc/install)
• Node.js and npm/pnpm/yarn (https://nodejs.org/)
• PostgreSQL

Backend (Go)

1. Navigate to backend: cd go
2. Install dependencies: go mod tidy
3. Create .env file with your PostgreSQL details

   DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@host:port/database
   

4. Run: go run ./cmd/NedMed

Frontend (SvelteKit)

1. Navigate to frontend: cd src
2. Install dependencies: npm install
3. Run development server: npm run dev -- --open

Deployment (Self-Hosting)

Using Docker (Recommended)

1. Adjust the .env file with your production credentials
2. Start services: docker-compose up -d
3. Configure your reverse proxy (Nginx, Apache, Caddy) to forward traffic to the containers

Manual Deployment

1. Build backend: go build -o nedmed ./cmd/NedMed
2. Build frontend: npm run build
3. Copy the built files to your server
4. Configure your web server and database
5. Start the services using process managers (systemd, pm2)

Future Enhancements

• User Authentication
• File Management (delete, rename)
