Distributed File Storage

A simple distributed file storage system. This project demonstrates the basics of storing, retrieving, and managing files across multiple nodes or services.

Features

• Store files in a distributed manner.
• Retrieve files by unique IDs.
• Basic replication and redundancy.
• Simple REST API for interacting with the system.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go 1.19+ (for backend/server)
• Docker & Docker Compose (optional, for running services in containers)

Running the Application

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd distributed-file-storage

2. Start the services:

   go run main.go

   Or to use Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up --build

3. Use the API:

   • Upload a file: POST /upload
   • Download a file: GET /files/{id}
   • List files: GET /files

Project Structure

• main.go - Entry point for the application
• /internal - Core application logic
• /api - REST API handlers
• /storage - Storage engine implementation
