Build Custom File Server App
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
The task is to create a complete, server-based file-sharing application from scratch. I want a standalone file server that handles uploads, downloads, permission management, and performance optimisation in a single, well-architected solution.
Scope
• Design the overall architecture (front-end, back-end, storage layer).
• Develop the core file-handling APIs and the web interface.
• Implement granular user and group permissions.
• Optimise transfer speed, concurrency handling, and storage efficiency.
• Containerise and script deployment so the server spins up smoothly on a fresh Linux instance.
• Provide concise documentation covering build steps, configuration, and maintenance.
Tech stack is flexible: Node.js with Express, or Python with FastAPI, Go, or another modern framework you are confident will deliver high throughput and security. Please incorporate a robust authentication layer (JWT, OAuth, or similar) and use a relational or object-store backend that scales.
Acceptance criteria
1. Users can upload, download, rename, and delete files through both UI and REST endpoints.
2. Role-based access works reliably; unauthorised requests are blocked and logged.
3. Server sustains at least 500 concurrent connections with transfer speeds within 10 % of baseline disk read/write.
4. Full project builds with a single command (Docker Compose or equivalent) and passes provided smoke tests.
Hand over the source code in a private repo plus a short video or text walkthrough of the deployment. Once these checkpoints are met, I will review and sign off.
