Dpaste is a web-based service for sharing and storing text-based data. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install dpaste on Elementary OS Latest.
First, update the system and install the required dependencies with the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3-pip redis-server nginx
Next, install Dpaste using pip3 by running the following command:
sudo pip3 install dpaste
To use dpaste on a domain, you need to configure a server block in Nginx. Here is an example server block that you can use:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" always;
}
}
Save the file and restart Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Finally, launch dpaste using the following command:
dpaste -b 0.0.0.0:8000
This will start the dpaste server on port 8000. You can access the dpaste service by going to your domain name in your browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed dpaste on Elementary OS 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!
