Addressed Issues: Feature Request: Profile Image Upload (Local File Support)

Fixes #279

Screenshots/Recordings:

Before: Users could only use the default/generated avatar.

Screenshot 2026-08-20 001522

After: Users can upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP profile picture, which is displayed using a centered circular crop.

Additional Notes:

  • Added support for uploading custom profile pictures.
  • Uses presigned S3 URLs so image data is uploaded directly from the browser to AWS S3.
  • The backend validates the file size, MIME type, file signature, ownership, and S3 object metadata before confirming the upload.
  • Temporary uploads and confirmed avatars use separate S3 prefixes.
  • The permanent avatar URL is stored in MongoDB.
  • Replacing an uploaded avatar deletes the previous S3 object.
  • CloudFront is not required; confirmed avatars use public S3 URLs.
  • Added docs/avatar-storage.md covering S3 CORS, IAM, bucket policy, lifecycle rules, and environment configuration.
  • Profile images use object-cover with centered cropping to preserve their aspect ratio inside the circular avatar.
  • AWS credentials must be supplied through the backend environment and must never be committed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds optional S3-backed avatar uploads and generated-avatar updates. The backend validates, promotes, and persists avatar objects. The frontend adds upload controls and state synchronization. Configuration templates and setup documentation describe the storage requirements.

Changes

Avatar storage flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
S3 configuration and storage service
backend/config/..., backend/services/..., backend/go.mod, .env.example
Adds S3 configuration, AWS SDK dependencies, presigned uploads, object validation, ETag-bound promotion, deletion, ownership checks, and unit tests.
Backend avatar API and persistence
backend/cmd/server/main.go, backend/controllers/..., backend/routes/profile.go, backend/models/user.go
Initializes optional S3 storage, registers authenticated avatar routes, handles upload confirmation and generated avatars, and persists AvatarKey.
Profile avatar interactions
frontend/src/services/profileService.ts, frontend/src/Pages/Profile.tsx, frontend/src/hooks/useUser.ts
Implements the presign–upload–confirm flow, generated-avatar updates, file validation, upload feedback, and shared user-state synchronization.
Avatar storage setup and repository configuration
README.md, docs/avatar-storage.md, backend/config/config.prod.sample.yml, .env.example, .gitignore
Documents S3 setup, credentials, IAM, CORS, lifecycle rules, verification, and troubleshooting. The existing Vite ignore rule remains present.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7a930

The PR adds profile-image uploads, but it currently logs request query data and can start with incomplete storage configuration while silently disabling uploads. These bounded security and deployment-behavior issues should be corrected before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject every partial S3 configuration.

Line 68 only treats a non-empty bucket as endpoint configuration. A config with s3.region set and no s3.bucket starts successfully and disables avatar uploads. Treat either field as S3 configuration, then fail startup when IsConfigured() is false, mate.

Proposed fix
 func (c S3Config) HasEndpointConfig() bool {
-	return c.Bucket != ""
+	return c.Region != "" || c.Bucket != ""
 }

Do not log request query contents.

Lines 49-52 write the full request URL, raw query, query map, and user identifier to application logs. A caller can add arbitrary query values. Remove these debug logs or record only non-sensitive request metadata, mate.
