Deploy the web client

In order to access Qasmat, you can install the official web client on your server. The web client is a SPA (single-page application) built with VueJS 3 and Typescript.

If you're using a private instance of Qasmat (CORS Allowed Origin set to anything other than '*'), then you will need to also add authentication to the web client. The web client must be protected by your authentication layer like your Qasmat instance. See Authentication for more details.

After deploying the client, you can configure it with the config/config.json file.

The configuration file accepts these options:

{
    "authAddress": "https://auth.provider.url/",
    "APIAddress": "https://api.qasmat.url/api",
    "isPublicInstance": false,
    "minThreshold": 2,
    "canEditConfig": false
}

• authAddress is the URL of your authentication provider. It is used to make the logout button work in the Settings tab.
• APIAddress is the URL of your Qasmat's proxy server.
• isPublicInstance toggles whether or not the Qasmat's proxy server you're trying to use is public (CORS Allowed Origins set to Any/*).
• minThreshold is the minimum number of servers needed to protect a file. In order to work, it must be positive and not equal to 0. Though, using 1 is not recommended since it is missing the point of using Qasmat.
• canEditConfig toggles whether or not the user can edit the authAddress, APIAddress and isPublicInstance properties of their client.
