Paaster is an open-source, user-friendly, and lightweight pastebin tool that helps developers share and store snippets of their source codes. It offers a simple web interface where you can easily copy and paste your code snippets for sharing with others. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of installing Paaster on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Packages

Firstly, connect to your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance using SSH or log in to the console as a sudo user. Then, run the following command to update the system's package repositories:

Step 2: Clone Paaster Source Code

git clone https://github.com/laurent22/joplin.git

After cloning the Paaster repository, navigate to the paaster directory using the following command:

Step 3: Deploy Paaster Using Docker

Paaster uses Docker for deployment. Use the following command to build and deploy the Paaster Docker container:

sudo docker-compose up --build -d

The above command will build a Docker container using the docker-compose.yaml file and deploy it in detached mode.

Step 4: Configure Paaster

Paaster has a default configuration file called config.py that you can modify to configure its settings. Use the following command to edit the file:

sudo vim config.py

Make the necessary changes to the configuration settings, and save the file.
