How to Install Rustypaste on EndeavourOS Latest?

Rustypaste is a simple, secure, and fast pastebin written in Rust. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Rustypaste on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• An EndeavourOS Latest host/server
• A non-root user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Rust

Rustypaste is written in Rust programming language, so we need to install Rust on our system.

Open a terminal and run the following command to install Rust:

$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

During the installation, you will be prompted to choose the default installation option. Press Enter to select the default option.

Once the installation is complete, add the Rust binary path to your system PATH variable by running the following command:

$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Step 2: Install Redis

Rustypaste uses Redis as the backend database to store information. Therefore, we need to install Redis on our system using the following command:

$ sudo pacman -S redis

Once the installation is complete, start and enable the Redis service using the following commands:

$ sudo systemctl start redis
$ sudo systemctl enable redis

Step 3: Install Rustypaste

Next, we will download the Rustypaste source code from the Github repository. Open a terminal and run the following command to clone the Rustypaste repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste.git

After that, navigate to the Rustypaste directory using the following command:

$ cd rustypaste

Finally, run the following command to build and install Rustypaste:

$ cargo install --path .

Once the installation is complete, you can start Rustypaste using the following command:

$ rustypaste

By default, Rustypaste listens on port 8080. You can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
