Spacebin is an open-source pastebin alternative that allows for easy sharing of code snippets or other texts. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Spacebin on your Debian Latest system.
Before you begin, you will need to ensure that:
The first step is to install the necessary packages required for Spacebin to function properly. You can do this using the following command:
sudo apt install curl git-core nodejs npm mongodb redis-server
Next, you need to clone the Spacebin repository from Github. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/spacebin-org/spirit.git
This will create a directory named spirit in your current directory.
After cloning the repository, navigate to the spirit directory and install the project's dependencies by running:
cd spirit
npm install
The next step is to configure the project's database. Spacebin requires both MongoDb and Redis instances. You can start MongoDB and Redis using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl start redis-server
After the services have started, you need to edit the config/default.json file in the Spacebin directory and set the connection strings for both databases:
{
"mongo_uri": "mongodb://localhost:27017/spacebin",
"redis_uri": "redis://localhost:6379/1",
...
}
Make sure to save the file after making any changes.
With the project's dependencies installed and the database configured, you are now ready to start Spacebin:
npm start
This will start the application at http://localhost:3000. You can access it using your web browser.
You have successfully installed Spacebin on your Debian Latest system. You can now start sharing code snippets and other texts with others using this simple and easy-to-use open-source pastebin alternative.
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!
