Hastebin is a free and lightweight pastebin tool that allows you to share code snippets, configuration files, and other text-based data with others online. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Hastebin on your Arch Linux machine.
Before starting with the installation procedure, make sure that you have access to a terminal on your Arch Linux system, and you have the sudo
privileges. You also need to ensure that your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Hastebin is built using Node.js, so you need to have Node.js installed on your Arch Linux system. You can install Node.js by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
Once Node.js is installed, you can verify it by running the following command:
node --version
This should display the version number of Node.js.
In this step, we are going to install Hastebin using the npm
package manager. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo npm install -g hastebin
This command installs Hastebin globally, so you can access it from any directory on your Arch Linux system.
By default, Hastebin runs on port 7777. If you want to change the default port, you can do so by specifying a different port number in the command line.
hastebin --port=8080
Also, if you want to change the default storage directory, open the configuration file /usr/lib/node_modules/hastebin/config.js
in your favorite editor and make the necessary changes.
Now, it's time to start Hastebin. To start Hastebin, run the following command:
hastebin
This command starts the Hastebin server. You should see the following output in your terminal:
listening on http://0.0.0.0:7777/
This means that Hastebin is now up and running on your Arch Linux system.
Finally, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:7777
to access the Hastebin web interface. You can now start sharing code snippets, configuration files and other text-based data with others on the internet.
That's it. You've successfully installed and configured Hastebin on your Arch Linux system. You can now use it to share your code and other text-based data with others online.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
