Automated Download Queue for Enterprise to take the best use of Internet bandwidth

About

Bassa solves the problem of wasting internet bandwidth by queuing a download if it is larger than a given threshold value in high traffic and when the traffic is low, it completes the download of the files. After the files are downloaded, the users can get their files from the local servers which do not require external internet bandwidth.

Main functionalities

• Provides an interface for users to add their downloads as links or torrent magnet links
• Provide users with an interface to view and download the files in the local server
• Provide a rating system for users to rate the files residing in local server
• Automatically start and stop downloading in given time frame
• Automatically clean the disks and make room for new downloads
• Notify the users when his/her download is completed
• Mark inappropriate downloads
• Provides admins with an interface to deal with inappropriate files

Installation

Note:

• Windows users can check the installation guide here.

First clone the Repository git clone https://github.com/scorelab/Bassa.git cd Bassa

Use python 3 instead of Python 2

  $ sudo ./setup.sh

  $ cd components/core/
  $ sudo python3 setup.py develop

Bassa has 4 main compoenents,

1. Database
2. Bassa API
3. aria2
4. Bassa UI

Database Setup

1.Type below in a MySql terminal.

create database Bassa

2.Type below in the root of project.

cd db_schema
mysql -u root -p  Bassa < Bassa.sql

3.Open components/core/DBCon.py and setup database username and password.

_db=MySQLdb.connect("db", os.environ.get('YOUR_DB_USERNAME'), os.environ.get('YOUR_DB_PASSWORD'), os.environ.get('Bassa'))

If you don't have environment variables setup, you can use the following line with hard coded values for testing purposes

_db=MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="YOUR_DB_USERNAME", passwd="YOUR_DB_PASSWORD",db= "Bassa")

Bassa API

  $ cd components/core/
  $ python3 Main.py

Run aria2

run aria2c --enable-rpc

Read more on installing aria2 here

Bassa UI

Install dependencies with

$ cd ui/
$ npm install

To start

run gulp serve

In the first time you log in, the credentials would be as follows.

• username - rand
• password - pass

Running Tests

API Tests

• Make sure the python server is working and you have an open connection to the database.
• Open the python console in your terminal by running the command python3.
• In the console that opens, import the test files, like so:

 from tests.Bassa_endpoint_test import *
 from tests.login_test import *

UI Tests

cd ui
npm test OR yarn test

Using Docker-Compose

Run the docker-compose at the project directory to deploy the core API, UI and the DB.

$ docker-compose up

How to Use Bassa

• After Setting up Bassa, Login/Register. There are two types of users in Bassa
  1. The Admin
  2. The Normal Users
• A user can add a link through the webapp and Bassa stores it in the local server right away. This way multiple users can add various links, but the downloads won’t start right away.
• The organisation admin can start the downloads at a time of his/her liking.
• Then the users who had added links for certain files can download them from the local servers at a much higher speed.
• You can even watch a video tutorial for the same on Youtube
