About The Project

Dick was created to be an easy to use front end for Ass as there was no public option to allow users to view their saved images on their server. I decided to learn tailwind and also at the same time build this. I did this all in my spare time, and will keep updating as best as I can while I use it. I'm still learning all this so if anyone has suggestions on how to do things better, I am all ears! I love learning! :)

Current Feautres:

1. General statistics on your file uploads
2. File browser, allows you to see all your uploads on one webpage (plans to make it more powerful)
3. Deletion of items (currently one at a time, plans for multiple at once)
4. Copy link of items (currently one at a time, plans for multiple with spaces in between in pastebin)

Planned Feautres:

1. There are a lot of good ideas out there, to keep track of what is currently planned see the v1.1 project board

The front end is built using Tailwind CSS, Lucide Icons, as well as hand crafted components all templated using EJS. I plan to eventually rewrite this in React.

The back end is written in Typescript, utilizing expressJS.

Running The Dashboard

Running DICK is very simple, though there is no docker container.
You must have Node >=v16.14.0, which you should if you're running ASS.

Config

Inside of your dick root folder, you will see src/CONSTANTS.ts.example. Copy this to CONSTANTS.ts
Inside this file, is some basic configuration you can change for your set up. There are only 5 variables you need to worry about in this file:

Variable	Description
DICK_SUBMODULE = false	Put this to true if you wish to run DICK as an ASS submoduke, false if seperate
ASSLOCATION = "../ass"	If running DICK seperately, DICK will use this to find your ASS install folder
ASSSECURE = false	Put this to true if you are running ASS behind a domain with HTTPS,. false if HTTP
ASSDOMAIN = "127.0.0.1:40115"	Put this to your ASS domain. Can be an ip, or domain for example https://cdn.mydomain.com
STAFF_IDS = ["ass"]	Change this to whatever your username is in your ASS auth.json file. Default user in ASS, is ass

Running

Development

_{Open to view the development set up steps}

1. Create a folder, call it whatever you wish
2. Install, and run ASS https://github.com/tycrek/ass#installation (This will create an ass folder)
3. Go back into the folder you created and clone this repo git clone https://github.com/Facinorous-420/dick
4. Go into the newly created dick folder cd dick
5. Go into /src and copy CONSTANTS.ts.example to CONSTANTS.ts and edit it as needed
6. Go back to the root of dick and install the dependancies for the frontend, npm i
7. Run npm run build:dev to compile the code base in watch mode
8. In a new terminal, run npm run serve:dev to run DICK using nodemon

⚠️ASS will be running under it's port of 40115 whereas the dashboard will be under the port 3000.

Production

_{Open to view the production set up steps}

1. Create a folder, call it whatever you wish
2. Install, and run ASS https://github.com/tycrek/ass#installation (This will create an ass folder)
3. Go back into the folder you created and clone this repo git clone https://github.com/Facinorous-420/dick
4. Go into the newly created dick folder cd dick
5. Go into /src and copy CONSTANTS.ts.example to CONSTANTS.ts and edit it as needed
6. Go back to the root of dick and install the dependancies for the frontend, npm i
7. Run npm start to compile the code base and run DICK

When you approach the login screen, your secret key is the key generated for your account. You should not share this with anyone.

⚠️ASS and the dashboard will be under their own ports.
_{They will have entirely different routing. This means you can use two different domains for each, such as cdn.yourdomain.com for ASS and dashboard.yourdomain.com for DICK.}

_{Open to view the set up steps to run this as a submodule to ass}

Preface: You need to edit /src/CONSTANTS.ts's variable of DICK_SUBMODULE to true

1. Setup ASS https://github.com/tycrek/ass#installation For when it asks for name of front end, leave as ass-x (default) for now.

2. Add this repo as a submodule into ASS git submodule add https://github.com/Facinorous-420/dick

3. Go into the frontend's directory, cd dick, and run git submodule update --init --recursive to initiaze it

4. Install the dependancies for the frontend, npm i

5. Run npm run build to compile the frontend and get it ready to run

6. Then move to the ASS directory and run the ASS setup again npm run setup

7. Leave everything as you did prior, but this time under frontend name, type dick and continue

8. Go into the .gitmodules file, and youll notice two submodules. Remove the

   [submodule "ass-x"]
     path = ass-x
     url = git@github.com:tycrek/ass-x.git
   

   submodule so only the

   [submodule "dick"]
     path = dick
     url = https://github.com/Facinorous-420/dick
   

   one is left

9. Run npm run build to recompile this change

10. You can run ASS, npm start or however you normally run your ass instance
