   • Download the files from the link we provided or from GitHub.
   • Save them in a new folder on your computer.

2. Open a Terminal

   • Go to the folder where your project files are saved.
   • On Windows: Right-click in the folder and select "Open in Terminal."
   • On Mac: Open Terminal, type cd, then drag the folder into the Terminal window to set your location.

3. Edit the env

   • Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the required fields.
   • To get your Cloudflare R2 credentials, follow this tutorial.

4. Start the Project

   • In the Terminal, type:

     go run src/main.go

   • The webserver will start, and you can test it with Insomnia or Postman. Or by visiting http://localhost:<port-you-specified>.

2. Hosting the Project

If you have your own VPS (like DigitalOcean, AWS, or any other hosting service), you can deploy your project there. Follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• A VPS with root or sudo access.
• Go installed on the server. You can install it using:

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install golang

• An HTTP server like Nginx or Apache for reverse proxy and domain handling.

Steps

1. Upload Your Files

   • Use SCP, rsync, or FTP software (e.g., FileZilla) to transfer your project files to the server.
   • Example using scp:

     scp -r /path/to/your/project root@your-server-ip:/path/to/your/project

2. Set Up Environment Variables

   • Navigate to your project directory on the server.
   • Copy the .env.example file to .env and configure it with your Cloudflare R2 credentials and other settings.

3. Start the Application

   • Run the following command to start the application:

     go run src/main.go

   • For production, use a process manager like PM2 or systemd to keep the app running:
     • Using PM2:

       sudo npm install -g pm2
       pm2 start src/main.go --name resynced-uploader
       pm2 save
       pm2 startup

     • Using systemd: Create a service file at /etc/systemd/system/resynced-uploader.service:

       [Unit]
       Description=Resynced Uploader Service
       After=network.target
       
       [Service]
       User=your-username
       WorkingDirectory=/path/to/project
       ExecStart=/usr/local/go/bin/go run src/main.go
       Restart=always
       
       [Install]
       WantedBy=multi-user.target

       Start and enable the service:

       sudo systemctl daemon-reload
       sudo systemctl start resynced-uploader
       sudo systemctl enable resynced-uploader

4. Set Up a Reverse Proxy

   • Install and configure Nginx or Apache to route traffic to your GoFiber app.
   • Example for Nginx:

     server {
         listen 80;
         server_name yourdomain.com;
     
         location / {
             proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:<your-app-port>;
             proxy_http_version 1.1;
             proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
             proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
             proxy_set_header Host $host;
             proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
         }
     }

   • Restart Nginx:

     sudo systemctl restart nginx

5. Enable HTTPS (Optional but Recommended)

   • Use Certbot to install an SSL certificate for your domain:

     sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
     sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com

6. Done!

   • Visit your domain in a browser to see your Resynced Uploader project live!
