Rust-Send

![Project license][repo-license-badge]

This is an ongoing effort to rewrite the backend of Mozilla's [Firefox Send][mozilla-send] in Rust with the long-term goal of adding additional features like authentication and user accounts. Mozilla discontinued Send; this project is based on [this fork][https://gitlab.com/timvisee/send/], which is a community effort to keep Send up-to-date and alive.

Right now the new Rust backend isn't working yet.

---

• Forked [at][fork-commit] Mozilla's last publicly hosted version
• Mozilla & Firefox branding [is][remove-branding-pr] removed so you can legally self-host
• Kept compatible with [ffsend][ffsend] (CLI for Send)
• Dependencies have been updated
• Mozilla's [changes][mozilla-patches] since the fork have been selectively [merged][mozilla-patches-pr]
• Mozilla's experimental report feature, download tokens, trust warnings and FxA changes are not included

The original project by Mozilla can be found [here][mozilla-send]. The [mozilla-master][branch-mozilla-master] branch holds the master branch as left by Mozilla. The [send-v3][branch-send-v3] branch holds the commit tree of Mozilla's last publicly hosted version, which this fork is based on. The [send-v4][branch-send-v4] branch holds the commit tree of Mozilla's last experimental version which was still a work in progress (featuring file reporting, download tokens, trust warnings and FxA changes), this has selectively been merged into this fork. Please consider to [donate][donate] to allow me to keep working on this.

Thanks [Mozilla][mozilla] for building this amazing tool!

What it does

A file sharing experiment which allows you to send encrypted files to other users.

---

Building

The files in ./assets/static are build in the original [Send repository][https://gitlab.com/timvisee/send/]:

ff-send$ cp ../rust-send/ffsend-webpack-config.js webpack.config.js
ff-send$ sed -i 's/navigator.serviceWorker.register(\'\/serviceWorker.js\')/navigator.serviceWorker.register(\'\/static\/serviceWorker.js\')/' app/main.js
ff-send$ npm install
ff-send$ npm run build
ff-send$ cp -r dist ../rust-send/assets/static

The backend is build with cargo:

rust-send$ cargo build [--release]
