Spacebin is an open-source, minimalist and self-hostable pastebin application. It is used to quickly store and share plain text online. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Spacebin on Arch Linux.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to clone the Spacebin repository using Git:
git clone https://github.com/spacebin-org/spirit
Next, navigate into the cloned directory and install all the Node.js dependencies by running the following command:
cd spirit
npm install
Create a new configuration file by copying the default one:
cp .env.example .env
Now, edit the .env file and specify the URL and port where you want Spacebin to run. You can also set up a custom database if you like.
SPACEBIN_URL=http://localhost:3000
SPACEBIN_PORT=3000
DB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/spacebin
You can also enable or disable certain features such as registration or syntax highlighting through the configuration file.
Start the Spacebin server with the following command:
npm start
If everything is configured correctly, you should see the following message in your console:
Server start at http://localhost:3000
You can now access Spacebin by visiting the URL and port specified in your .env file in your browser.
That's it! You've successfully installed Spacebin on Arch Linux. You can now use it to quickly share plain text online. Don't forget to keep your Spacebin instance updated with the latest version and securely configure your server.
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!
