In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Wastebin on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Wastebin is an open-source paste bin web application that allows users to share text or code snippets online.
Wastebin is hosted on Github, and to download it, you'll need to install Git on your system. To install Git on Fedora CoreOS, open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo dnf install git -y
Now, clone the Wastebin repository from Github to your local system using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/matze/wastebin.git
This command will download the entire Wastebin source code to your current directory.
Next, you need to ensure that all the required dependencies are installed on your system. To do that, enter the following command in your terminal:
sudo dnf install nodejs npm -y
This command will install both Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager), which are required to run Wastebin.
Before you run Wastebin, you need to install some additional dependencies using the npm command. Navigate to the cloned Wastebin directory and execute the following commands:
cd wastebin
npm install
This command will install all the required dependencies. Lastly, to start the Wastebin server, use the following command:
npm start
This command will launch the Wastebin web application on your local port 8080.
After the server is started, open a web browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
This will take you to the Wastebin homepage, where you can share text or code snippets.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Wastebin on your Fedora CoreOS system. You can now share your code or text snippets with others easily. If you face any issues, kindly refer to the Github project page or contact the developer for support.
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!
