Cron jobs
Lufi have commands which can be used in cron jobs.
To see what commands are available:
cd /var/www/lufi && carton exec script/lufi cron
It is recommended to execute the cron tasks once a day:
the delete IP task can be executed less than once a day. Or more. It exists for legal reasons, so you need to know when you have to delete the sender's IP addresses
the delete expired files task is here to delete expired files. You can execute it less than once a day: if one asks for an expired file, the file is deleted. This task exists for files that are expired which no one wants to see
the watch directory's file can be executed more than once a day if you're short on storage.
Delete IP adresses from database
To automatically delete the IP addresses of file's senders after a configurable delay:
cd /var/www/lufi && carton exec script/lufi cron cleanbdd --mode production
Delete expired files
To automatically delete files which availability delay is over (when you choose that your image will be deleted after 24h / one week / etc.)
If delete_no_longer_viewed_files is set, the files not viewed since delete_no_longer_viewed_files days will be deleted too.
cd /var/www/lufi && carton exec script/lufi cron cleanfiles --mode production
Please note that files are deleted 2 days after their expiration: if a download begins right before the expiration time, you don’t want to prevent the download to succeed because the cron task deleted the files.
I choose 2 days as a safe delay for really big files and/or really slow Internet connections.
Watch the size of the files directory
To execute an action when the files directory is heavier than max_total_size.
The available actions are warn, stop-upload and delete:
warn prints a message on the standard out (which is normally mailed to you by cron) ;
stop-upload prints a message on the standard out and creates the stop-upload file which prevents uploading and put a warn on Lutim interface ;
DANGEROUS OPTION!!!delete prints a message on the standard out and delete older images until the files directory goes under quota.
If the files directory go under quota, the stop-upload file is deleted. If you want to manually prevents uploading, create a file named stop-upload.manual.
cd /var/www/lufi && carton exec script/lufi cron watch --mode production
Your Lufi is now fully ready!
I recommend you to read the update page, for when you'll update your lufi instance.
