About

Distributed DropBox clone service for a local area network (LAN). The idea is to use the free disk space of the computers in a LAN for replicating files in other computers in the same LAN.

Prerequesites

• Make sure that you have Docker and Docker Compose installed
  • Windows or macOS: Install Docker Desktop
  • Linux: Install Docker and then Docker Compose

First we'll need to use the gradle build task to assemble the code into a JAR file, so we can run it with Docker.

The root directory of the project has a docker folder and inside where the docker-compose.yml is, open the terminal and run:

docker-compose up

Only then run the Main on the IDE:

└── src
    └── main
        └── java
            └── pt.ipb.dsys.peerbox
                └── Main.java

The folder boxFile at the root directory is where all the files will be handled by the application.
