How to install 0bin on Alpine Linux Latest

0bin is an open-source encrypted pastebin that allows users to securely share texts or files without the need for an account, passwords, or emails. Follow the steps below to install 0bin on Alpine Linux.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of Alpine Linux Latest
• Access to the command-line interface with administrator privileges

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Before you can install 0bin, you need to make sure that some required packages are installed on your Alpine Linux. These packages include Python and Git. To install these packages, open a terminal window and run the following command:

apk add python3 git

Step 2: Clone 0bin Repository

Next, you’ll need to clone the 0bin repository from GitHub. To do this, navigate to the directory where you want to save the 0bin files and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Tygs/0bin.git

Step 3: Install 0bin Dependencies

cd into the cloned 0bin directory and run the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

This command will install all the required Python packages to run 0bin.

Step 4: Start 0bin Server

To start 0bin server, navigate to the 0bin directory and run the following command:

python3 paste.py

By default, the server will start on port 8000. You can access 0bin by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost:8000.

Note: If you want to run 0bin in daemon mode, use the following command:

python3 paste.py --daemon

Step 5: Configure Nginx

You’ll also need to configure Nginx to reverse-proxy requests to the 0bin server. The configuration file is usually located in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. Open the file with a text editor and add the following configuration block inside the http block:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name YOUR_PUBLIC_HOSTNAME;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Replace YOUR_PUBLIC_HOSTNAME with the domain name or public IP address that users will use to access 0bin.

Step 6: Restart Nginx

After saving the configuration file, restart the Nginx service to apply the changes:

/etc/init.d/nginx restart

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we’ve shown you how to install 0bin on Alpine Linux and configure it to work with Nginx. As an encrypted pastebin, 0bin is a great way to securely share sensitive information with others.
