Ocean Uploader Backend

📖 Menu

Description

The Ocean Uploader Backend service is a django-based solution the acts as a proxy for calling the different Uploader microservices. The initial specifications are explained here.

Features:

  • User content uploads.
  • Payment handling.
  • Pushing content to decentralized storage.
  • Returning the storage object for DDO.

Architecture:

  1. Uploader Backend:
    • Exposes public API for frontend operations.
    • Exposes private API for microservices (through a private network).
    • Proxies requests to microservices.
    • Manages IPFS temporary storage.
  2. 1-N Uploader MicroServices: Each microservice can handle different storage types.

Usage

If you wish to use the Ocean Uploader Backend in your project we recommend implementing it using the Uploader.js library. You will also require the following information:

This server is currently deployed at: https://dbs.oceanprotocol.com

The account is: 0x5F8396D1BfDa5259Ee89196F892E4401BF3B596d

Installation

This is a server-side API based on Python and Django/DRF so first make sure you have python and pip installed.

First, clone this project in the appropriate location in your workspace.

Then, use virtualenv to isolate your development environment and setup the virtual env for this project: python -m virtualenv venv

The server can be run using the ./manage.py runserver method from the ./server/ directory.

Tests can be launched using ./manage.py test

You can create a superuser with ./manage.py createsuperuser to be able to access the back-office on http://localhost:8000/admin by default or everything else you previously defined.
