## Installation
```bash
# Create upfast user and home directory
useradd --shell /bin/sh --system --home-dir /usr/local/upfast upfast
mkdir -p /usr/local/upfast # dodge copying of skeletons
chown upfast:upfast /usr/local/upfast
chmod 700 /usr/local/upfast
This installation step's will also harden our installation and limit the size of how much can be uploaded at the same time so your system can't be flooded.
# change to upfast user
su upfast
# go to upfast's user's home and curl the upfast binary
cd ~
### Creating user
```bash
# Create upfast user with no login shell, no home directory and as a system user
useradd --shell /usr/sbin/nologin --system -M upfast
# Resctrict login to upfast user
usermod -L upfast
```
### Creating virtual filesystem
This is done in order to limit the amount of storage the upfast installation, so people can't storage dos you.
Creating virtual filesystem to limit amount people can upload like chad's, using dd to create an empty file of size you choose.
Change the size output file to whatever you wan't and size to whatever you wan't.
``` bash
# make sure to first change into a directory where you wan't to save the virtual filesystem
dd if=/dev/zero of=20gb bs=1M count=20480
# make that file into a filesystem
mkfs.ext4 20gb
# create directory to mount the filesystem, I recommend /usr/local/upfast because that's where the included systemd service looks for upfast binary
mkdir /usr/local/upfast
# mounting the filesystem
mount -o loop,rw /home/ivek/20gb /usr/local/upfast
```
Now to make it mount on system reboot we need to add this line to fstab.
``` fstab
/home/amir/mydatafile /usr/local/upfast ext4 loop,rw,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
```
### Downloading the binary
```bash
# go to upfast's user's home and curl the upfast binary, make sure to run the next command's as root
cd /usr/local/upfast
curl -O https://code.cronyakatsuki.xyz/crony/UpFast/releases/download/v1.1/upfast
chmod +x upfast
```
```bash
# Own the directory with upfast user and group
chown upfast:upfast -R /usr/local/upfast
chmod 700 /usr/local/upfast
```
