Dpaste is a simple online tool for sharing code snippets. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Dpaste on Fedora Server Latest.
Before starting, make sure you have the following:
Dpaste requires several dependencies to be installed first. Use the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install python3 python3-devel python3-pip gcc redis
python3
: Python 3 interpreterpython3-devel
: Development headers for Python3python3-pip
: Python 3 Package Installergcc
: GNU Compiler Collectionredis
: In-memory data structure storeNext, create a virtual environment for Dpaste to isolate its dependencies from other Python projects.
Run the following command to install virtualenv:
sudo pip3 install virtualenv
Then create a new virtual environment:
cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir dpaste
cd dpaste
sudo virtualenv dpasteenv
Activate the environment:
source dpasteenv/bin/activate
With the virtual environment activated, use pip to install Dpaste:
pip install dpaste
Create a new configuration file for Dpaste:
sudo nano /usr/local/dpaste/dpaste.conf
Add the following lines to set the redis server IP and port:
[redis]
ip = 127.0.0.1
port = 6379
Save and close the file.
Finally, start the Dpaste server:
dpaste -b 0.0.0.0:8000 -c /usr/local/dpaste/dpaste.conf
-b
: Bind address and port-c
: Configuration fileYou can now access Dpaste from your browser at http://your_server_ip:8000/
.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Dpaste on Fedora Server Latest. Now you can share code snippets with ease!
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!
