EdPaste is a minimalistic, open-source pastebin tool developed in Python. Installing EdPaste on Debian Latest is extremely easy and can be done in just a few simple steps. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process.
Before installing any new software or packages, it’s always a good idea to update your system. Simply run the following commands to update your system:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
Before you can start installing EdPaste, you need to make sure you have all the necessary dependencies installed. To do so, simply run the following command:
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv
Now you need to clone the EdPaste repository from GitHub. To do that, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ptnr/EdPaste.git
Once cloned, navigate to the EdPaste directory using the following command:
cd EdPaste
It’s always a good practice to install packages within a virtual environment to avoid any package conflicts. To create a new virtual environment, run the following command:
python3 -m venv env
Now you need to activate the virtual environment using the following command:
source env/bin/activate
Once inside the virtual environment, you need to install the required packages using the pip package manager. To do that, simply run the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Before running EdPaste, you need to configure it first. Rename the sample config file using the following command:
mv config.py.sample config.py
After that, edit the configuration file as per your requirements. You can use any text editor to do so. For example, to edit the file using nano, run the following command:
nano config.py
Make the necessary changes in the configuration file and save it.
Finally, you can run EdPaste using the following command:
python3 app.py
Once running, you should be able to access EdPaste at http://localhost:5000/ in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured EdPaste on Debian Latest.
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!
