Spacebin is an open source pastebin alternative built with Node.js and MongoDB. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Spacebin on your Fedora Server Latest machine.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install Node.js. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs
After the installation is complete, check the version of Node.js by running the following command:
node -v
The next step is to install MongoDB. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y mongodb
After the installation is complete, start the MongoDB service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start mongod
You can check the status of the MongoDB service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status mongod
The next step is to clone the Spacebin repository from Github. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/spacebin-org/spirit.git
This will clone the repository to your current working directory.
The next step is to install the dependencies for Spacebin. To do this, navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command:
npm install
This command will install all the necessary dependencies required for Spacebin to run.
The next step is to configure Spacebin. To do this, navigate to the cloned repository directory and create a .env
file with the following contents:
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/spacebin
SESSION_SECRET=your_session_secret_here
Replace your_session_secret_here
with a secure string. This is used to sign session cookies.
The final step is to run Spacebin. To do this, navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command:
npm start
This will start the Spacebin server. You can now access Spacebin by opening your web browser and entering http://localhost:8080
in the address bar.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Spacebin on your Fedora Server Latest machine. You can now create, share and store pastes securely with Spacebin.
