files are stored in sub-directories of the defined 'app/upload_dir'. these directories can be configured under 'app/times'. up will create the missing directories.

Up doesn't remove files - please setup cron to match your configuration

shafez@up:~$ ls -al public/uploads/

setting 'debug' to 'true' will make the daemon run in foreground.

nginx

nginx can be configured to proxy requests to Up

server {
	listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
        server_name up.arahant.nl;
    	access_log /var/log/nginx/up.arahant.nl-access.log;
    	error_log /var/log/nginx/up.arahant.nl-error.log;
        location / {
             proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
        }
}
