reva VS Cloudreve

Before I deep dive into the architecture of what I rebuilt the app during the hackathon, I would like to tell about my experiences in my words. When I first came across #GO Hack Challenge on devpost, I was overwhelming to find related tracks which I could be fit for and tutorials to enrich my knowledge here and there to get into it. It was really a learning opportunity to someone who is newbie and contribute or build any stuff under the hood. I stepped into the open source projects under CERN Foundation, where I didn’t even know what the ecosystem around the project is. I was much curious then. Next, I delved into one of the projects for a few days and looked into a few issues and made a small contribution to it by fixing one of the bugs. I moved to another track where we needed to build any app based on golang. I came to know about use of generic function which is currently released and used in Go >= 18 Version. I managed to rebuild an app using Gin-Gonic framework and use the generic function usage in my app.

The advantage of that above just a simple "these tests are allowed to fail" is that, after adding a feature or fixing a bug, the developer is forced to look into the tests. If tests start to pass, the only job the developer has to do, is to remove them from the expected-to-fail list, and what a joy is that 🎉. From that point on the test has to pass in all future runs, and we are sure not to introduce any regressions. If we would only have an allowed-to-fail list, there would be no pressure to remove tests from that list, humans are humans, so they would forget or miss some. Potentially a bug could get fixed, then see some regression again and none of that would be noticed by the test-suite. So let the computers do what they are good at - automate!

From my experience, i found Cloudreve to fit all of my requirements and its easy to use and has great performance. Everyone says that its Chinese but from my experience the translation is okay except 1 or 2 places in the admin dashboard beeing in Chinese, everywhere else is in English. It can run on either on windows or linux. It also has webdav, so you can connect to it with your desired app and i think that its usefull to use it without paying for static ip or other service in order to access your storage (i use cloudflare tunnel to access it from outside of my network for free). Also its open source so you can modify it to your needs. Cloudreve github repo If you need the documentation you can translate it and i found it very useful, but mos of the time the website explains everything. I am not sure but i think it can run in docker. If you want to upload big files to cloudreve but you are using the cloudflare tunnel, it had 100 MB limit, but if you upload the files though the web interface, it has no problem uploading big files like 10 gb or more and also has resume gile upload feature which is very usefull. I am not sponsored or anyting i just speak from experience.
