EdPaste is an open-source web-based application that allows users to paste and share text. It is ideal for developers who need to share code snippets, configuration files, and more. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install EdPaste on Fedora Server Latest.
Before you begin this tutorial, you will need the following:
Before we install EdPaste, we need to install the dependencies required for its installation.
To install the dependencies, run the following command:
dnf install -y cmake make gcc-c++ mariadb mariadb-devel mariadb-server zlib-devel openssl-devel libcurl-devel libxml2-devel libpng-devel libicu-devel libmcrypt-devel
After installing the dependencies, we need to clone the EdPaste repository.
First, navigate to the directory where you want to store the EdPaste files.
Then, clone the EdPaste repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ptnr/EdPaste.git
EdPaste requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB to create the database.
To install MariaDB, run the following command:
dnf install -y mariadb mariadb-server
Next, start the MariaDB service and enable it to start at boot time:
systemctl start mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb
Once the service is started, we need to create a new database for EdPaste:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE edpaste;
exit
After configuring the database, navigate to the EdPaste directory:
cd EdPaste/
To build and install EdPaste, run the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
After the installation, we need to configure EdPaste to use the database we created.
To do this, navigate to the /usr/local/etc/EdPaste directory and open the config.ini file:
cd /usr/local/etc/EdPaste
nano config.ini
In the config.ini file, change the database_host value to localhost, and enter the MariaDB database name, username, and password:
database_host = localhost
database_name = edpaste
database_username = root
database_password = xxxxxx
Save and close the config.ini file.
Finally, start the EdPaste service:
systemctl start edpaste
systemctl enable edpaste
Now that EdPaste is running, you can access it by pointing your web browser to http://<your server's IP address>:8080. You should see the EdPaste homepage, where you can create and share text snippets.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed EdPaste on Fedora Server Latest. You can now use EdPaste to share and collaborate on text snippets with other users.
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!
