Hastebin is an open-source, free web app that allows users to easily share and host their code snippets. It provides a simple and straightforward interface for uploading and sharing code snippets with others. If you're interested in using Hastebin on Debian, you'll need to follow the steps in this tutorial to get started.
Before you begin, you'll need the following:
Hastebin requires Node.js and NPM to be installed on your Debian Latest server. Run the following command to install Node.js and NPM:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
To install Hastebin, you can either download the source code from GitHub or install it using NPM. Here, we'll be using NPM to install Hastebin.
Run the following command to install Hastebin:
sudo npm install -g haste-server
Once you've installed Hastebin, you'll need to configure it before you can start using it. Hastebin provides a simple configuration file that you can use to customize the settings.
Navigate to the /etc/haste-server directory and create a new configuration file named config.json:
cd /etc/haste-server
sudo nano config.json
Paste the following JSON code into the file:
{
"maxSize": 200000,
"staticMaxAge": 86400,
"storage": "/var/lib/haste-server",
"keyLength": 10,
"maxLength": 400000,
"port": 7777,
"log": {
"level": "info",
"access": "/var/log/haste/access.log",
"error": "/var/log/haste/error.log"
}
}
This configuration file sets various settings such as the maximum size of the snippets, the storage location for the snippets, and the logging details. You can customize these settings to your liking.
Save and close the file when you're done.
To start the Hastebin server, run the following command:
sudo haste-server
This will start the Hastebin server and it will begin listening on port 7777 (port is configurable - can be changed as per our configuration). You can access your Hastebin server by visiting http://localhost:7777 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hastebin on your Debian Latest server. You can now use Hastebin to easily share your code snippets with other people. Have fun using Hastebin!
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!
