previously, only real folders could be listed by a webdav client;
a server which does not have any filesystem paths mapped to `/`
would cause clients to panic when trying to list the server root
now, assuming volumes `/foo` and `/bar/qux` exist, when accessing `/`
the user will see `/foo` but not `/bar` due to limitations in `walk`,
and `qux` will only appear when viewing `/bar`
a future rework of the recursion logic should further improve this
drop chunk-hashes in the up2k snap, plus other insignificant attribs
to reduce both the snapfile size and the ram usage by about 90%
reduces startup/shutdown time by a lot since there's less to serdes
(does not affect -e2d which was already optimal)
other changes:
* improve incoming-eta accuracy when the initial handshake
was made a long time before the upload actually started
* move the list of incoming files in the controlpanel to the top
* do not absreal paths unless necessary
* do not determine username if no users configured
* impacket 0.12 fixed the foldersize limit, but now
you get extremely poor performance in large folders
so the previous workaround is still default-enabled
* pyz: yeet the resource tar which is now pointless thanks to pkgres
* cache impresource stuff because pyz lookups are Extremely slow
* prefer tx_file when possible for slightly better performance
* use hardcoded list of expected resources instead of dynamic
discovery at runtime; much simpler and probably safer
* fix some forgotten resources (copying.txt, insecure.pem)
* fix loading jinja templates on windows
add support for reading webdeps and jinja-templates using either
importlib_resources or pkg_resources, which removes the need for
extracting these to a temporary folder on the filesystem
* util: add helper functions to abstract embedded resource access
* http*: serve embedded resources through resource abstraction
* main: check webdeps through resource abstraction
* httpconn: remove unused method `respath(name)`
* use __package__ to find package resources
* util: use importlib_resources backport if available
* pass E.pkg as module object for importlib_resources compatibility
* util: add pkg_resources compatibility to resource abstraction
* show media tags in shares
* html hydrator assumed a folder named `foo.txt` was a doc
* due to sessions, use `pwd` as password placeholder on services
* exponentially slow upload handshakes caused by lack of rd+fn
sqlite index; became apparent after a volume hit 200k files
* listing big folders 5% faster due to `_quotep3b`
* optimize `unquote`, 20% faster but only used rarely
* reindex on startup 150x faster in some rare cases
(same filename in MANY folders)
the database is now around 10% larger (likely worst-case)
reduce the overhead of function-calls from the client thread
to the svchub singletons (up2k, thumbs, metrics) down to 14%
and optimize up2k chunk-receiver to spend 5x less time bookkeeping
which restores up2k performance to before introducing incoming-ETA
dedup is still encouraged and fully supported, but
being default-enabled has caused too many surprises
enabling `--dedup` restores the previous default behavior
also renames `--never-symlink` to `--hardlink-only`
symlinks between volumes will only be created if xlink is
enabled, so such symlinks should be ignored if xlink is
disabled, as they might originate from other software
this prevents accidental rewriting of non-dedup symlinks
if --no-dedup was enabled in a volume which already contained
symlinked duplicate files, renaming/moving folders could fail
this is due to folder contents being moved one file at a time
(which is how symlink breakage is prevented) except the links
are moved assuming the final directory layout, meaning they
may be intermittently broken during the movie
with no-dedup, the symlinks are converted into full files as
each symlink is encountered, but a temporarily broken symlink
would crash the procedure
fix this by giving `_symlink` a new parameter `fsrc`
which is a known valid inode for data copying purposes
previously, the assumption was made that the database and filesystem
would not desync, and that an upload could safely be substituted with
a symlink to an existing copy on-disk, assuming said copy still
existed on-disk at all
this is fine if copyparty is the only software that makes changes to
the filesystem, but that is a shitty assumption to make in hindsight
add `--safe-dedup` which takes a "safety level", and by default (50)
it will no longer blindly expect that the filesystem has not been
altered through other means; the file contents will now be hashed
and compared to the database
deduplication can be much slower as a result, but definitely worth it
as this avoids some potentially very unpleasant surprises
the previous behavior can be restored with `--safe-dedup 1`
timezone can be changed with `export TZ=Europe/Oslo` before launch
using naive timestamps like this appears to be safe as of 3.13-rc1,
no deprecation warnings, just a tiny bit slower than assuming UTC
due to deduplication, it is intentionally impossible to
upload several identical copies of a file in parallel
by default, the up2k client will upload files sorted by
size, which usually leads to dupes being grouped together,
and it will try to do just that
this is by design, as it improves performance on average,
but it also shows the confusing (but technically-correct)
message "resume the partial upload into the original path"
fix this with a more appropriate message
note that this approach was selected in favor of pausing
handshakes while the initial copy finishes uploading,
because that could severely reduce upload performance
by preventing optimal use of multiple connections
* v1.13.8 broke collision resolving for non-identical files;
the correct filename was reserved but not symlinked to
the original file, leaving a zerobyte file instead.
See v1.14.3 github release notes for remediation info
* add sanchecks for early detection of index/fs desync;
saves performance and gives less confusing logs
if files (one or more) are selected for sharing, then
a virtual folder is created to hold the selected files
if a single file is selected for sharing, then
the returned URL will point directly to that file
and fix some shares-related bugs:
* password coalescing
* log-spam on reload
* fix: translation: changing from `" "` to `' '` for some strings;
using `./scripts/tlcheck.sh eng chi copyparty/web/browser.js`
* fix: translation: Check the newly added Chinese translation
<daniiooo> also iirc some time ago we were talking about the scroll for volume ed
<daniiooo> and how its reversed
<ed> is it reversed though? most people said it worked the way they expected
<daniiooo> fuck maybe i agreed back then too
<daniiooo> its the opposite in both aimp and mpv though
<ed> is it w
<tatsu> its a feature
<Devices> it's to keep you on your toes
<Devices> consciously use copyparty
<ed> i can invert it no problem
<ed> would be a nice surprise for anyone who's used it
<Flaminator> Scroll down turns the audio down right?
<daniiooo> ye it makes it louder in cpp
<Devices> why would scrolling down make something louder
<Vin> yeah that's odd
<Vin> scrolling up should make it louder
<Flaminator> It's what it does for me in winamp, mpc-hc and foobar2000.
<daniiooo> so now the question is who itc agreed to whats currently in cpp
<daniiooo> haha
<ed> idk but i'm inverting it
<ed> let's invert it every 6 months
* navpane would always feed the vproxy paths into the tree
instead of only when necessary (the initial load)
* mkdir would return `X-New-Dir` without the `rp-loc` prefix
* chpw and some other redirects also sent raw vpaths
Reported-by: @iridial
* wark landed in the wrong registry when moved to another volume
(harmless; upload would succeed on the next handshake)
* dedup did not apply correctly when moved into another volume,
since all the checks were done based on the previous vol;
fix this by recursing the whole thing
also update the reloc example after some real-world experience
Reported-by: @daniiooo
* support x-forwarded-for
* option to specify socket permissions and group
* in containers, avoid collision during restart
* add --help-bind with examples
hooks can now interrupt or redirect actions, and initiate
related actions, by printing json on stdout with commands
mainly to mitigate limitations such as sharex/sharex#3992
xbr/xau can redirect uploads to other destinations with `reloc`
and most hooks can initiate indexing or deletion of additional
files by giving a list of vpaths in json-keys `idx` or `del`
there are limitations;
* xbu/xau effects don't apply to ftp, tftp, smb
* xau will intentionally fail if a reloc destination exists
* xau effects do not apply to up2k
also provides more details for hooks:
* xbu/xau: basic-uploader vpath with filename
* xbr/xar: add client ip
v1.13.5 made some proxies angry with its massive chunklists
when stitching chunks, only list the first chunk hash in full,
and include a truncated hash for the consecutive chunks
should be enough for logfiles to make sense
and to smoketest that clients are behaving
compile to bytecode so cpython doesn't have to keep it in memory
ram usage reduced by:
* min: 5.4 MiB (32.6 to 27.2)
* ac/im: 5.2 MiB (39.0 to 33.8)
* dj/iv: 10.6 MiB (67.3 to 56.7)
startup time reduced from:
* min: 1.3s to 0.6s
* ac/im: 1.6s to 0.9s
* dj/iv: 2.0s to 1.1s
image size increased by 4 MiB (min), 6 MiB (ac/im/iv), 9 MiB (dj)
ram usage measured on idle with:
while true; do ps aux | grep -E 'R[S]S|no[-]crt'; read -n1; echo; done
startup time measured with:
time podman run --rm -it localhost/copyparty-min-amd64 --exit=idx
in the event that an upload chunk gets stuck, the js would
never stop waiting for a response, requiring a page reload
improves reliability when running behind a reverse-proxy
which is configured to never timeout requests (can make
sense when combined with other services on the same box)
with overflow:auto, firefox picks the div-width before estimating
the height, causing it to undershoot by the scrollbar width
and then messing up the text alignment
fix: conditionally set overflow-y:scroll using js
* wait until page (au) has loaded to register hotkeys
* hotkey `m` would grow sidebar if tree was minimized
* more exact warning about num.parallel uploads
* keep more console logs in memory
* message phrasing
audio extraction happens serverside to opus or mp3
depending on browser support
remuxing (extracting audio without transcoding)
is currently not supported, and is not planned
* progress donuts should include inflight bytes
* changes to stitch-size in settings didn't apply until next refresh
* serverlog was too verbose; truncate chunk hashes
* mention absolute cloudflare limit in readme
rather than sending each file chunk as a separate HTTP request,
sibling chunks will now be fused together into larger HTTP POSTs
which results in unreasonably huge speed boosts on some routes
( `2.6x` from Norway to US-East, `1.6x` from US-West to Finland )
the `x-up2k-hash` request header now takes a comma-separated list
of chunk hashes, which must all be sibling chunks, resulting in
one large consecutive range of file data as the post body
a new global-option `--u2sz`, default `1,64,96`, sets the target
request size as 64 MiB, allowing the settings ui to specify any
value between 1 and 96 MiB, which is cloudflare's max value
this does not cause any issues for resumable uploads; thanks to the
streaming HTTP POST parser, each chunk will be verified and written
to disk as they arrive, meaning only the untransmitted chunks will
have to be resent in the event of a connection drop -- of course
assuming there are no misconfigured WAFs or caching-proxies
the previous up2k approach of uploading each chunk in a separate HTTP
POST was inefficient in many real-world scenarios, mainly due to TCP
window-scaling behaving erratically in some IXPs / along some routes
a particular link from Norway to Virginia,US is unusably slow for
the first 4 MiB, only reaching optimal speeds after 100 MiB, and
then immediately resets the scale when the request has been sent;
connection reuse does not help in this case
on this route, the basic-uploader was somehow faster than up2k
with 6 parallel uploads; only time i've seen this
hooks can be restricted to users with certain permissions, for example
`--xm aw,notify-send` will only `notify-send` if user has write-access
the user's list of permissions are now also included in the json
that is passed to the hook if enabled; `--xm aw,j,notify-send`
will now also stop parsing flags when encountering a blank value,
allowing to specify any initial arguments to the command:
`--xm aw,j,,notify-send,hey` would run `notify-send` with `hey`
as its first argument, and the json would be the 2nd argument,
similarly `--xm ,notify-send,hey` when no flags specified
this is somewhat explained in `--help-hooks`, but
additional related features are planned in the near future
and will all be better documented when the dust settles
if an ftp client tried to list the toplevel folder on a server
where nothing is mounted toplevel, it would syntheisze a
directory listing which included all volumes, even those
which the user would not be able to access
so basically not a problem, just very confusing
mtime the file that was used to produce the folder thumbnail
(rather than the folder itself) since the folder-thumb is
always resolved to the file's thumb in the on-disk cache
if a request body is expected, but request has no content-length,
set the timeout to 1/20 of `--s-tbody`, so 9 seconds by default,
or 3 seconds if it's 60 as recommended in helptext
this gives less confusing behavior if a client accidentally does
something invalid, replying with an error response before the
previous timeout of 186 seconds
also raise the slowloris flag, in case a client bugs out and
keeps making such requests
if a song fails to play for some reason (network loss,
corrupt file), a timer plays the next track after 5s
the timer was not cancelled if the user
started another track in the meantime
the spec doesn't say what you're supposed to do if the target filename of an upload is already taken, but this seems to be the most common behavior on other ftp servers, and is required by wondows 2000 (otherwise it'll freak out and issue a delete and then not actually upload it, nice)
new option `--ftp-no-ow` restores old default behavior of rejecting upload if target filename exists
was intentionally skipped to avoid complexity but enough people have
asked why it doesn't work that it's time to do something about it
turns out it wasn't that bad
* upgrade to partftpy 0.4.0
* workarounds for buggy clients/servers
* improved ipv6 support, especially on macos
* improved robustness on unreliable networks
* make `--tftp4` separate from `--ftp4`
only keep characters `>+-*` if there's less than three of them,
and discard entire prefix if there's more
markdown spec only cares about exactly-one or three-or-more, but
let's keep pairs in case anyone use that as unconventional markup
when there was more than ~700 active connections,
* sendfile (non-https downloads) could fail
* mdns and ssdp could fail to reinitialize on network changes
...because `select` can't handle FDs higher than 512 on windows
(1024 on linux/macos), so prefer `poll` where possible (linux/macos)
but apple keeps breaking and unbreaking `poll` in macos,
so use `--no-poll` if necessary to force `select` instead
metadata is no longer discarded when transcoding to opus or mp3;
this was a good idea back when the transcodes were only used by
the webplayer, but now that folders can be batch-downloaded with
on-the-fly transcoding, it makes sense to keep most of the tags
individual tags are discarded if its value exceeds 1023 letters
this should mainly affect the following:
* traktor beatmaps, size usually somewhere around 100 KiB
* non-standard cover-art embeddings, size around 250 KiB
* XMP (project data from adobe premiere), around 48 KiB
