ddidderr 858f4d949c chore: add nginx deployment smoke test
Add the nginx deployment artifact from PLAN.md. The example config keeps upl
behind nginx, sets client_max_body_size to 64 MiB, disables request buffering for
chunk uploads, forwards standard proxy headers, and leaves explicit placeholders
for TLS certificates and access control before public exposure.

Add just nginx-smoke as a reusable Docker-based verification. The script starts
upl with a temporary data directory, runs nginx as a reverse proxy, uploads a
17 MiB file through nginx, restarts the Rust backend mid-upload, confirms server
progress survives the restart through the proxy, uploads the remaining chunk,
completes the upload, and compares SHA-256 hashes.

Document the production nginx shape, the local Docker smoke-test caveat, and the
manual deployment retest scenario in TESTS.md.

Test Plan:
- bash -n scripts/nginx-smoke.sh
- just check
- just nginx-smoke

# upl
`upl` is a small personal resumable upload service. The intended deployment is:
```text
browser -> nginx -> upl Rust server -> local filesystem
```
The first implementation milestone provides the Rust server shell and static
browser UI. Upload metadata, chunk persistence, resume state, and completion
assembly are tracked in `PLAN.md` and will be added in later coherent slices.
## Project Structure
```text
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, chunks, and assembly
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
deploy/nginx/ nginx reverse proxy example
scripts/ reusable local smoke tests
Validation
tests/ integration tests for server behavior
TESTS.md reusable manual and automated test checklist
```
## Configuration
- `UPL_BIND` sets the listen address. It defaults to `127.0.0.1:3000`.
- `UPL_STATIC_DIR` sets the static asset directory. It defaults to `static/`
inside this repository.
- `UPL_DATA_DIR` sets the upload data directory. It defaults to `data/` inside
this repository.
- 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`.
## Common Commands
Use the `justfile` for routine tasks:
```sh
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:
```sh
UPL_BIND=127.0.0.1:3000 UPL_DATA_DIR=/srv/upl/data 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.
For a local Docker-based reverse-proxy smoke test:
```sh
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.
