ddidderr a7b3abd54a fix: render fresh upload progress as empty
A newly selected file has no server upload record yet, so the UI calls the
progress renderer with zero completed chunks and zero total chunks. Treating
that zero-total state as complete made the progress bar jump to 100% before
any upload had started.

Render zero-total progress as empty instead. Existing resumable uploads still
show their server-authoritative completed chunk percentage, and completed
non-empty uploads still render as full because their completed count equals a
non-zero total.

Test Plan:
- just static-check
- just test
- git diff --check

upl

upl is a small personal resumable upload service. The intended deployment is:

browser -> nginx -> upl Rust server -> local filesystem

The server writes upload chunks directly into an inaccessible temp file at their final offsets. Once every chunk is present, completion atomically renames that temp file into the completed upload directory.

Project Structure

upl
  Rust server
    src/main.rs        binary entrypoint and listener setup
    src/app.rs         Axum router, shared state, static file service
    src/api.rs         HTTP handlers and API error responses
    src/model.rs       JSON request, response, and metadata shapes
    src/storage.rs     local filesystem layout, offset writes, and final rename
    src/lib.rs         library surface used by integration tests
  Browser UI
    static/index.html  upload tool markup
    static/styles.css  responsive tool styling
    static/app.js      upload scheduler, retries, and browser resume state
  Deployment

    scripts/           reusable local smoke tests
  Validation
    tests/             integration tests for server behavior
    TESTS.md           reusable manual and automated test checklist

Configuration

  • --bind sets the listen address. It overrides UPL_BIND and defaults to 127.0.0.1:3000.
  • --static-dir sets the static asset directory. It overrides UPL_STATIC_DIR and defaults to static/ inside this repository.
  • --data-dir sets the completed upload data root. Completed files land under its complete/ subdirectory. It overrides UPL_DATA_DIR and defaults to data/ inside this repository.
  • --temp-dir sets the directory for upload metadata, completion markers, and inaccessible temp upload files. It overrides UPL_TEMP_DIR and defaults to <data-dir>/staging.
  • upl --help prints the full argument help text.
  • The server accepts request bodies up to 64 MiB, which leaves room for the planned 16 MiB upload chunks and matches the nginx example in PLAN.md.
  • Keep UPL_TEMP_DIR on the same filesystem as <data-dir>/complete so completion can promote files with an atomic rename.

Common Commands

Use the justfile for routine tasks:

just check
just run

just check also syntax-checks the static browser JavaScript with node.

nginx

Run upl on localhost and put nginx in front of it for TLS and access control:

UPL_BIND=127.0.0.1:3000 \
UPL_DATA_DIR=/srv/upl/data \
UPL_TEMP_DIR=/srv/upl/data/staging \
upl

Use deploy/nginx/upl.conf.example as the starting point for the nginx site. Before exposing the service, replace the certificate paths and add a protection layer such as HTTP basic auth, an IP allowlist, or VPN-only access. The nginx example aliases only /srv/upl/data/complete; do not expose UPL_TEMP_DIR.

For a local Docker-based reverse-proxy smoke test:

just nginx-smoke

The smoke test binds the Rust server to 0.0.0.0 so the nginx container can reach it through Docker's host gateway. The production nginx example keeps the server bound to localhost.
