The site crashes for 10 minutes and then start working again.
And here is the code that handles the file upload, i’m not using any packages:

saveFile: function(blob, name, path, encoding) {
  var path = cleanPath(path), fs = Npm.require('fs'),
      name = name, encoding = encoding || 'binary',
    chroot = Meteor.chroot || '../../../../../public/uploads';
      path = chroot + (path ? '/' + path + '/' : '/');
  
  fs.writeFile(path + name, blob, encoding, function(err) { // THE ERROR HAPPENS HERE
    if (err) {
      throw (new Meteor.Error(500, 'Failed to save file.', err));
    } else {
      console.log('The file ' + name + ' (' + encoding + ') was saved to ' + path);
    }
  });

I’ve read that Meteor is not recommended for storing files. But does it means I cannot transfer any files or images ?
Thanks !

Take a look at the File storage section of the Galaxy Docs. Quoting the relevant bits:

Galaxy provides temporary file storage for application containers to use. Galaxy does not provide persistent file storage for application containers to use.

Application containers are given read/write access to the /tmp directory and /tmp sub-directories. Application containers do not have read/write access to the /root directory or to the $HOME directory.
