Go File Hosting

This open source project is a straightforward microservice designed for file download or upload operations, accessible via a web server. Built using Go, it facilitates deployment through Docker for seamless execution.

The microservice functions through two primary routes accessed via POST requests. Users can either specify a file URL for downloading or directly upload a file to the server. Once processed, the files become accessible within a built-in mini file hosting environment within the application, accessible via unique URLs.

For more comprehensive understanding and setup, the project includes a Makefile with essential commands for execution. Additionally, it provides examples demonstrating usage scenarios, including practical curl commands for quick integration and testing.
