ok lol my synapse-media-proxy project in progress is apparently the new code thing I brainstorm about in bed and under the shower

wonder if this structure will work nicely, a local component that runs on the Synapse machine with filesystem and database access, and a remote component that caches files and handles user requests

nice, I have basic file upload to the same memory cache as other served/proxied files working now :)

(configurable) max filesize implemented

Remote media download just works (tm) too, very easy to get the remote homeserver base url properly with https://www.npmjs.com/package/@modular-matrix/autodiscover-client-configuration

now working on access token validation for upload, which will need some work on the <local> server bit too, accessing the synapse db for things.
But this standin works, much secure such wow :P

- proper database access token validation
- saving uploaded files to <local> server disk

and initial commit published!
https://git.pixie.town/f0x/synapse-media-proxy

added progress explanation so far to readme as well

did a bunch of code cleanup and refactoring, tomorrow hoping to get started on thumbnailing, and url previews after that, which would finish the spec compliance for the media repo :)

nice nice nice file uploads work very well now, properly stored where Synapse would normally expect them too, and a listing in the database

now to limit the in-memory cache on <remote> and check up the federation spec, and then /upload and /download are fully implemented
