Detects if the user is on a slow (2G/3G) or metered (saveData) connection
and prompts them with a confirmation dialog if they attempt to upload
files totaling 200MB or more.
This prevents accidental high data usage and warns users about potential
long upload times. Also includes the dialogs JS and CSS in the base
layout to support the confirmation modal.
Replaces inline SVG elements in the download template with a reusable
CSS mask-based icon system. This reduces HTML bloat and centralizes
icon management.
- Added a generic `.svg-icon` utility class using CSS masks.
- Defined specific icon classes mapping to static SVG assets.
- Updated `download.html` to use `<span>` tags with the new icon classes.
- Adjusted CSS selectors in retro and download stylesheets to target `.svg-icon`.
Introduce a new "Share" button on the download page to allow users to easily share the box link.
- Add the share button markup and SVG icon to `download.html`
- Include the `13-share.js` script in the base layout to handle the share action
- Add CSS styling for the share button in `30-download.css`
- Block file downloads and previews with a 424 StatusFailedDependency if file processing failed or the box has issues.
- Register routes for `/service-worker.js` and `/share-target` to support PWA features.
- Update README.md with an AI usage disclosure.
Improve the Content-Disposition header formatting for file downloads by implementing RFC 5987 compliant filename encoding. This ensures that downloaded files retain their original names, including spaces and non-ASCII characters, across different browsers.
- Add `contentDisposition` helper to generate both standard ASCII fallback and UTF-8 encoded filename parameters.
- Sanitize filenames to prevent path traversal and replace unsafe characters with underscores in the ASCII fallback.
- Update single file and ZIP downloads to use the new formatting.
- Add unit tests to verify correct header generation for various filename scenarios.
Add support for generating and rendering rich Open Graph (OG) image cards for archive files. When an archive file is shared, the handler now fetches or generates its listing metadata and renders a custom card displaying file/folder counts, uncompressed size, and a visual representation of the archive's contents.
Implement retro-themed styling and classic pixelated icons for the
archive browser when the "retro" theme is active.
Changes include:
- Adding CSS overrides for `[data-theme="retro"]` to style the archive
browser container, tree nodes, and hover states.
- Updating the JS preview script to dynamically append retro image
icons (e.g., classic shell32/zipfldr icons) alongside SVGs.
- Toggling visibility between SVG and retro image icons using CSS
based on the active theme.
Introduces the ability to browse and preview the contents of archive files directly within the web interface.
Changes include:
- Added a new API endpoint `GET /d/{boxID}/archive/{fileID}` to fetch archive listings.
- Implemented on-demand archive listing generation in the backend.
- Updated the frontend preview component to support rendering and navigating archive contents.
- Register a new route `GET /d/{boxID}/scene/{fileID}` to serve video scene previews.
- Implement the `VideoScenesPreview` handler to serve existing previews or generate them on-demand.
- Add helper functions to analyze video frames (e.g., luma calculation to filter out dark frames) and render the final scene thumbnail.
- Update the `fileView` struct to include scene URL and status fields.
When an incoming file has an empty content type or is marked as
"application/octet-stream", attempt to detect the actual MIME type
by reading the first 512 bytes of the file. This improves content
type accuracy for generic binary uploads.
Update `HasThumbnail` in `fileViewWithReactions` to evaluate to true if the file already has a thumbnail or if it is a file type that requires one (`jobs.NeedsThumbnail`). This ensures the download page renders the thumbnail element for files that are pending thumbnail generation or support dynamic thumbnails.
Additionally, update tests in `upload_stage3_test.go` to verify the thumbnail image is rendered and relax the OG image URL matching.
When a thumbnail is requested but not yet available, attempt to generate
it synchronously on-demand instead of immediately falling back to the
placeholder image.
- Export thumbnail generation helpers from the jobs package.
- Update the Thumbnail handler to trigger on-demand generation if the
thumbnail object is missing.
- Save the updated box metadata with the new thumbnail reference.
- Fall back to the placeholder image only if on-demand generation fails.
Implements dynamic Open Graph (OG) metadata and image generation for
single-file shared boxes to improve social media previews.
Changes include:
- Added a new route `/d/{boxID}/f/{fileID}/og-image.jpg` for file-specific OG images.
- Updated `DownloadPage` to dynamically set the page title, description, and OG image properties when a box contains only one file.
- Restricted raw media inline serving for social bots to images and videos.
- Added helper functions to format file share descriptions and determine appropriate social image URLs and types.
- Integrated basic font rendering to support dynamic OG image generation.
Implement a rich file preview interface to allow users to view file
contents directly in the browser.
Changes include:
- Exposing raw file size (`SizeBytes`) in the download handler's file view.
- Adding comprehensive CSS styling for the preview layout and cards.
- Integrating Prism.js for syntax highlighting of code files.
- Updating Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to permit inline styles and frame sources required by the preview components.
- Adding unit tests to ensure preview metadata attributes are correctly rendered on the download page.
Register routes for robots.txt and sitemap.xml, and implement search engine indexing controls to protect user privacy.
Specifically:
- Set `X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, noarchive` headers on file downloads, thumbnails, and zip generation.
- Configure `Robots: web.RobotsNone` on download and preview pages to prevent indexing of temporary user uploads.
- Add canonical URLs, improved descriptions, and image alt tags to page metadata for better social sharing.
- Implement real-time transfer rate tracking and display upload speed (e.g., Mb/s) in the progress status.
- Add a 6-hour (360 minutes) option to the upload expiry selection ladder.
- Fix an issue where the "new upload" button remained visible by explicitly toggling its display style and adding a CSS fallback for the `hidden` attribute.
- Add `WARPBOX_RESUMABLE_CHUNK_MODE` and `WARPBOX_RESUMABLE_CHUNK_PATH` environment variables to configure temporary chunk storage.
- Implement strict file validation for resuming uploads to ensure selected files match the pending session's metadata.
- Add `PLANS.md` to document development stages, roadmap, and API specifications (including batching and resumable flows).
Implement a native chunked resumable upload API and frontend integration
to support reliable large file uploads.
Changes include:
- Added a 3-step resumable upload API flow (create session, upload chunks, complete session).
- Introduced configuration options for chunk size, retention hours, and toggling the feature.
- Updated the frontend to utilize resumable uploads with progress tracking.
- Configured temporary chunk storage under `data/tmp/uploads` with automatic cleanup.
- Documented the API flow and configuration in the README.
Improve the user experience in the file browser list view by allowing users to click anywhere on a file card to open it, rather than just the specific link.
- Add a click event listener to the file browser to handle navigation when clicking a card in list view.
- Ensure interactive elements (like buttons or inputs) inside the card do not trigger the card-wide click.
- Add `cursor: pointer` to list view file cards to indicate they are clickable.
- Update retro theme CSS to style the entire card on hover and focus.
- Limit the number of initially visible reactions per file to 2 and calculate the overflow count on the backend.
- Redesign the retro theme CSS to mimic a classic Windows 98 Explorer window, including title bars, toolbars, and sunken panes.
- Add local storage persistence for the file browser view preference (list vs. thumbnails).
Introduce file icon support to the file browser. Icons are loaded on
startup and mapped based on file name and content type.
- Load file icon mappings in the App handler initialization.
- Add `HasThumbnail`, `IconURL`, and `IconRetroURL` to the file view.
- Update CSS to support displaying file icons alongside thumbnails.
- Add retro theme support to swap standard icons with pixelated retro
variants when the retro theme is active.
Removes the redundant `/healthz` and `/api/v1/health` endpoints, leaving `/health` as the sole health check endpoint.
- Update router to return 404 Not Found for the removed endpoints
- Update admin log filtering to only ignore `/health`
- Remove health URL from API documentation data
- Update tests to verify `/health` returns 200 and others return 404

- Add `POST /d/{boxID}/f/{fileID}/react` endpoint to handle user reactions.
- Add `GET /emoji/{pack}/{file}` endpoint to serve custom emoji assets.
- Support loading custom emoji packs dynamically from the data directory.
- Update README with instructions on configuring emoji reaction packs.
Disable default read and write timeouts (set to 0s) to prevent Go from
prematurely closing connections during large multi-GB uploads.
Introduce `WARPBOX_READ_HEADER_TIMEOUT` (defaulting to 15s) to protect
against slowloris-style attacks while still allowing long-running
uploads to complete. Update documentation and example configurations
accordingly.
Refactors the admin overview dashboard charts to use inline pixel heights (up to 150px) instead of CSS variables and percentage-based heights. This provides more robust rendering and layout control.
Changes include:
- Replacing `Height` with `HeightPx` in chart bar structures.
- Rendering inline styles for height and width on charts and status bars.
- Adding fallback data attributes (`data-height-px`, `data-chart-value`, etc.) and loading a new fallback script (`25-admin-charts.js`).
- Updating and expanding test coverage to assert correct scaling and HTML rendering.
Filter out automated health check log entries (such as `/health`,
`/healthz`, and `/api/v1/health`) from the admin logs view. This
reduces noise in the dashboard caused by frequent container health
pings.
Also added corresponding unit tests to verify the filtering behavior.
Refactors the admin dashboard bar charts to use CSS custom properties (`--bar-height`) instead of fragile inline `height` styles.
Changes include:
- Updating the HTML templates to pass the height as a CSS variable.
- Converting the `.bar-chart` layout from Flexbox to CSS Grid for more consistent column distribution.
- Using absolute positioning for `.bar-chart-bar` inside `.bar-chart-track`.
- Adding a Go test to verify that the dashboard renders the CSS variable and no longer uses inline height styles.
Replace manual IP logging using `uploadClientIP(r)` with the
`withRequestLogAttrs` helper function in `manage.go`. This simplifies
the log statements and standardizes the extraction of request-related
attributes.
- Replace manual IP logging with the `withRequestLogAttrs` helper in authentication handlers.
- Add user activity logging for API documentation and login page views.
- Clean up log calls to use variadic expansion of request attributes.
Enhance the admin panel by introducing visual overview charts for upload and storage trends, along with status bars for system metrics.
Additionally, implement pagination for the admin logs view, allowing users to navigate through log entries with configurable page sizes. Corresponding CSS styles have been added for the new charts, metrics grid, and pagination controls.
Introduce new admin capabilities to manage uploaded boxes and files:
- Add routes and handlers for editing boxes and deleting individual files.
- Implement `RemoveFileFromBox` in `UploadService` to delete a file's stored objects and remove it from the box (deleting the box if empty).
- Implement `AdminUpdateBox` in `UploadService` to update expiry, download limits, and clear password protection.
- Remove the unused `AdminFiles` handler.
- Add `.claude` to `.gitignore`.
- Implement storage backend deletion, which automatically resets default storage settings and user-specific overrides when a backend is removed.
- Add unit tests covering the delete action and its cleanup side effects.
- Improve admin UI responsiveness, fixing table scrolling, flex wrapping, and text truncation for long storage backend names.
- Update security documentation to clarify trusted proxy configurations and explain how trusted proxies are protected from automatic bans.
Update `createOrAppendBox` to accept the upload policy and admin status, allowing policy enforcement to be handled during the box creation/append decision process. This ensures that appending files to an existing batch does not incorrectly trigger daily or active box creation limits, as no new box is being created.
Also, add unit tests to verify that batched uploads successfully bypass both daily and active box creation caps.
- Optimize the ban matching middleware by using a read-only transaction (`db.View`) for the initial scan, avoiding the single bbolt write lock on every request when no ban matches.
- Implement periodic pruning of stale entries in the upload grouper map to prevent unbounded memory growth over time.
- Avoid redundant parsing of the `max_days` form value in the upload handler.
- Update user policy and user update handlers to accept -1 as an unlimited value for MaxDays, DailyBoxes, ActiveBoxes, and ShortWindowRequests.
- Introduce `optionalIntAllowUnlimited` helper and update `optionalMBAllowZero` to support -1.
- Use `boxExpiryLabel` helper across admin, dashboard, and download handlers to properly format expiration dates, supporting boxes that never expire.
Introduce support for grouping multiple sequential file uploads into a single box using the `X-Warpbox-Batch` header. This is particularly useful for ShareX multi-file selections, which are sent as separate back-to-back requests.
Additionally, this change:
- Updates the ShareX configuration template to opt-in to batching by default.
- Switches ShareX configuration placeholders to the modern `{json:...}` format.
- Adds `thumbnailUrl` to the upload response schema and documents its usage.
- Add `WARPBOX_TRUSTED_PROXIES` configuration to restrict accepted forwarded client IP headers to specific proxy IPs/CIDRs, securing client IP resolution.
- Integrate `BanService` into the background cleanup job to automatically purge expired abuse and ban evidence events.
- Update documentation with reverse proxy security guidelines and a production systemd deployment guide.
- Update the retro theme CSS to style the dashboard, account, and admin pages with a classic Windows 98 aesthetic (silver sidebar, bevelled tabs, sunken metric cards).
- Exclude sidebar links and tabs from default retro link styles to ensure readability.
- Add `docker-compose-prod.yml` for production deployments.
- Add `.prod.env` to `.gitignore`.
- Introduce APP_VERSION build argument and environment variable in Dockerfile.
- Load AppVersion from environment variables in the configuration loader.
- Pass the application version to the HTML renderer and expose it to templates via PageData.
- Update tests to verify the version is correctly rendered in the footer.
Refactor the admin storage backend creation and editing flows to use
provider-specific pages (e.g., `/admin/storage/new/sftp`) instead of a
single generic form. This ensures only relevant fields are rendered for
each storage provider (such as SFTP, S3, or WebDAV).
Additionally:
- Prevent mutation of the storage provider type during backend edits.
- Add comprehensive unit tests for provider-specific rendering, edit
validation, and CSRF/admin route protection.
- Register a new route for box Open Graph images (`/d/{boxID}/og-image.jpg`).
- Dynamically set the download page title, description, and OG image URL based on box state (e.g., file count, expiration, password protection).
- Introduce `servePlaceholderThumbnail` to serve fallback thumbnails with `Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate`. This ensures the browser requests the real thumbnail once it is generated instead of caching the placeholder.
Redesigns the upload interface to use a two-column grid layout on larger screens, separating the file drop-zone (left) from the upload options (right). This improves usability and visual hierarchy.
Changes include:
- Increasing the upload view max-width to 64rem.
- Creating a responsive `.upload-grid` that collapses to a single column on narrow viewports.
- Stacking option fields vertically in the narrower options panel.
- Adding retro theme support for the new options title.
Enhance the retro theme's API and documentation pages to better mimic
the Windows 98 aesthetic:
- Convert the docs header into a full-width grey window with black text.
- Style section card headings (`h2`) as classic blue gradient title bars, complete with a mock close button ("✕").
- Adjust margins to make top-level headings flush with window edges.
- Hide the kicker element in the docs header.
Add a new "retro" theme option that mimics the classic Windows 98 aesthetic, providing a nostalgic alternative to the modern and classic dark themes.
Changes include:
- Defining CSS variables for the retro theme in `00-base.css` (pixel fonts, silver/gray colors, and classic window shadows).
- Adding custom styling for cards, headers, buttons, and title bars to replicate classic OS windows.
- Adding a star background GIF (`stars1.gif`).
- Excluding the retro theme from modern "revamp" styles in `15-revamp.css`.
- Updating `CLAUDE.md` with instructions on screenshot verification.
- Implement dynamic expiry options on the upload page based on user roles and retention policies.
- Add helper functions to build and format expiry options into human-readable labels.
- Introduce a new modern theme featuring glassmorphism, gradients, and frosted glass cards.
Introduce support for configuring unlimited upload limits by allowing -1
as a valid value for anonymous and user upload MB limits.
Changes include:
- Added `envMegabytesLimitFloat` and helper functions to parse and validate limits where -1 is allowed.
- Updated validation logic to accept -1 for `AnonymousMaxUploadMB`, `AnonymousDailyUploadMB`, and `UserDailyUploadMB`.
- Added a test case to verify unlimited upload policy behavior.
Modify the authentication handler to return an unauthorized error when
an invalid or disabled bearer token is provided, rather than silently
falling back to an anonymous request.
This ensures that clients attempting to authenticate but failing (due to
expired, malformed, or disabled tokens) are explicitly notified of the
auth failure instead of proceeding anonymously. True anonymous requests
without any Authorization header remain supported.
- Add backend services to create, list, and delete API tokens.
- Implement Bearer token authentication to resolve tokens to users.
- Register HTTP routes for managing user tokens under `/account/tokens`.
- Add tests to verify that uploads with valid Bearer tokens associate the upload with the correct user, while invalid tokens fall back to anonymous uploads.
Implement a new card-based UI for managing storage backends in the admin panel. This update improves the visual presentation and usability of the storage configuration page.
Key changes:
- Added comprehensive CSS styles for storage cards, including status indicators, metadata layouts, and action buttons.
- Updated the storage admin template to render storage configurations as cards with type-specific details (Local, S3, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV).
- Integrated inline actions for testing, editing, disabling, and deleting storage backends.
- Enhanced sidebar link alignment with flexbox.
- Introduce S3-compatible storage backend support using minio-go.
- Add configuration options for local storage limits, box limits, and rate limiting.
- Implement storage backend selection (local vs S3) for anonymous and registered users.
- Add an `/admin/storage` management interface.
- Update documentation and environment examples with the new configuration variables.
- Update navigation labels from "My Account" to "Dashboard" and "Login" to "Sign in", updating tests accordingly.
- Redesign settings forms into structured sections with improved spacing and layout.
- Add CSS styles for tabs, small buttons, and responsive settings sections to enhance the user experience.
- Add environment variables to configure anonymous uploads, daily upload caps, and default user storage limits.
- Update config loader to parse and validate the new settings.
- Implement backend logic to track daily usage and active storage per user.
- Update README and `.env.example` to document the new settings and admin panels.
Introduce Stage 4 features to support multi-user accounts, cookie-based web sessions, and personal dashboards.

- Adding `/register` to bootstrap the first admin account and `/login`/`/logout` for session management.
- Creating a personal dashboard (`/app`) to display owned boxes, storage usage, and upload history.
- Implementing admin user management (`/admin/users`) for generating invite links and managing user states.
- Updating the bbolt database schema to store users, sessions, invites, and collections.
- Adding `golang.org/x/crypto` for password hashing and introducing unit tests for account handlers.
- Add a multi-stage Dockerfile for building and running the Go backend
- Add .dockerignore to optimize the Docker build context
- Create a Gitea Actions workflow to build and publish Docker images on tag push
- Register a new `/health` endpoint for container healthchecks
- Update README.md with Docker and Podman deployment instructions
- Ignore local `docker-compose.yml` in .gitignore
- Add an API documentation page with curl and ShareX examples.
- Implement a dynamic ShareX configuration endpoint (`/api/v1/sharex/warpbox-anonymous.sxcu`) that generates a `.sxcu` file pre-configured with the instance's base URL.
- Update anonymous uploads to return a private management link (`manageUrl`) and a deletion link (`deleteUrl`) in JSON responses.
- Update README with details on Stage 3 Anonymous Integrations.
- Add styling for the new API documentation view and management details.
Introduce environment variables to globally and individually control background jobs:
- `WARPBOX_JOBS_ENABLED` to toggle all background workers.
- `WARPBOX_CLEANUP_ENABLED` to toggle the expired box cleanup job.
- `WARPBOX_THUMBNAIL_ENABLED` to toggle the thumbnail generation job.
Refactor background tasks into a dedicated `backend/libs/jobs` package, allowing jobs to be registered, scheduled, and conditionally run based on the new configuration flags. Additionally, update the default maximum upload size in `.env.example` to 16GB and document the new settings in the README.
- Add `.file-name` class with ellipsis truncation for long file names to prevent layout overflow.
- Apply truncation to metadata and file items in download and preview pages.
- Add `title` attributes to truncated names to show the full text on hover.
- Automatically close the file context menu when the mouse moves more than 80px away from it.
Introduce an `AdminViewBox` handler and route that allows administrators
to view any box directly. If the box is password-protected, the handler
bypasses the protection by setting an unlock cookie with an unlock token
and logs the bypass event.
Additionally, add CSS and JS foundations for a file context menu and
preview actions in the file browser UI.
- Implement a token-authenticated admin console at `/admin` with overview metrics and file management.
- Add a background worker to periodically clean up expired boxes based on `WARPBOX_CLEANUP_EVERY`.

Introduce the `WARPBOX_DATA_DIR` environment variable to define where runtime data is stored. This directory will house uploaded files, the bbolt metadata database, and application logs.
Changes include:
- Added `WARPBOX_DATA_DIR` to configuration, defaulting to `./data`.
- Implemented a custom logging package that writes JSONL logs to the data directory.
- Updated `.gitignore` and `.env.example` to support the new data directory.
- Documented the runtime data structure in `README.md`.
- Updated the frontend upload script to handle form submission and display results.
Initialize the repository with the core Go backend architecture and a frontend mockup for warpbox.dev, a self-hosted file-sharing application.
- Set up Go backend modules for configuration, HTTP server, middleware, handlers, and templates.
- Add local development scripts, environment templates, and basic project configuration.
- Include a React-based frontend mockup under the docs directory.
