  • -maxsize 4294967296 maximum upload file size in bytes (default 4GB)
  • -contentsecuritypolicy "..." -- Content-Security-Policy header for pages (default is "default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; referrer origin;")
  • -filecontentsecuritypolicy "..." -- Content-Security-Policy header for files (default is "default-src 'none'; img-src 'self'; object-src 'self'; media-src 'self'; sandbox; referrer origin;"")
  • -xframeoptions "..." -- X-Frame-Options header (default is "SAMEORIGIN")
  • -remoteuploads -- (optionally) enable remote uploads (/upload?url=https://...)
  • -nologs -- (optionally) disable request logs in stdout

SSL with built-in server

  • -certfile path/to/your.crt -- Path to the ssl certificate (required if you want to use the https server)
  • -keyfile path/to/your.key -- Path to the ssl key (required if you want to use the https server)

Use with http proxy

  • -realip -- let linx-server know you (nginx, etc) are providing the X-Real-IP and/or X-Forwarded-For headers.

Use with fastcgi

  • -fastcgi -- serve through fastcgi

Require API Keys for uploads

  • -authfile path/to/authfile -- (optionally) require authorization for upload/delete by providing a newline-separated file of scrypted auth keys
  • -remoteauthfile path/to/remoteauthfile -- (optionally) require authorization for remote uploads by providing a newline-separated file of scrypted auth keys

A helper utility linx-genkey is provided which hashes keys to the format required in the auth files.

Deployment

1. Using fastcgi

A suggested deployment is running nginx in front of linx-server serving through fastcgi. This allows you to have nginx handle the TLS termination for example.
An example configuration:

server {
    ...
    server_name yourlinx.example.org;
    ...
    
    client_max_body_size 4096M;
    location / {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

And run linx-server with the -fastcgi option.

2. Using the built-in https server

Run linx-server with the -certfile path/to/cert.file and -keyfile path/to/key.file options.

3. Using the built-in http server

Run linx-server normally.
