How to Install Hasty Paste on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Hasty Paste on Fedora Server Latest. Hasty Paste is an open-source paste bin software that allows users to store code snippets, notes, and more.

Before you begin, make sure your server is up-to-date and you have administrative access.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Hasty Paste relies on several dependencies to function properly. Run the following command to install them:

sudo yum install -y python3 python3-devel gcc postgresql postgresql-devel libpqxx libpqxx-devel

Step 2: Clone the Hasty Paste Source Code

Clone the Hasty Paste source code from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/j003/hastypaste.git

Step 3: Create a Virtual Environment

Next, we need to create a virtual environment for Hasty Paste. A virtual environment enables the software to run in an isolated environment from the system Python installation. Run the following command to create a new virtual environment:

python3 -m venv hastypasteenv

Step 4: Activate the Virtual Environment

Activate the new virtual environment using the following command:

source hastypasteenv/bin/activate

Step 5: Install Required Packages

With the virtual environment activated, we can now install the required packages for Hasty Paste. Change to the hastypaste directory and run the following command:

cd hastypaste
pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 6: Configure the Database

Hasty Paste uses PostgreSQL as its database backend. We need to configure the database before running the software. First, create a new database and user in PostgreSQL:

sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE DATABASE hastypaste;
CREATE USER hastypaste WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE hastypaste TO hastypaste;
\q

Remember to replace 'password' with a strong password of your choosing.

Next, copy the sample configuration file and edit it with your PostgreSQL credentials:

cp config.example.py config.py
nano config.py

In the config.py file, change the DATABASE_URI field to match your PostgreSQL database credentials:

DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql://hastypaste:password@localhost/hastypaste'

Step 7: Run the Application

With everything installed and configured, we can now run Hasty Paste with the following command:

python run.py

The application is now running on port 5000. You can access it by visiting http://your-server-ip:5000 in your web browser.

Step 8: Configure a Proxy Server (Optional)

If you would like to run Hasty Paste behind a proxy server, you will need to configure it to forward requests to the application. We recommend using NGINX as a reverse proxy server.

To install NGINX, run the following command:

sudo yum install -y nginx

Next, copy the sample NGINX configuration file to the NGINX configuration directory:

sudo cp nginx.example.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/hastypaste.conf

Edit the hastypaste.conf file and replace 'your-server-ip' with the IP address of your server:

nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/hastypaste.conf

Then, reload the NGINX service for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl reload nginx

With the NGINX configurations complete, you can access Hasty Paste through your domain name or subdomain name.

That's it! You have successfully installed Hasty Paste on Fedora Server 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!
