In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Rustypaste on Fedora Server Latest. Rustypaste is an open-source, self-hosted pastebin app developed in the Rust programming language. It allows you to share code snippets, text, and links with your colleagues, friends, or customers in a secure and private manner.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Fedora Server Latest:
First, open a terminal on your Fedora Server Latest and clone the Rustypaste repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste.git
This will download the Rustypaste source code to your current working directory.
The next step is to configure the PostgreSQL database that Rustypaste will use to store its data. To do this, we will first create a new database and user by running the following commands in your terminal:
sudo -u postgres createdb rustypaste
sudo -u postgres createuser -P rustypaste
Then, log in to the PostgreSQL shell as the postgres user with the following command:
sudo -u postgres psql
Once you are inside the PostgreSQL shell, create a new database user and grant it access to the rustypaste database by running the following SQL commands:
CREATE USER rustypaste WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE rustypaste TO rustypaste;
Make sure to replace password with a strong password of your choice.
After that, exit the PostgreSQL shell by typing \q and pressing Enter.
Now, navigate to the Rustypaste directory that you cloned earlier by running the following command:
cd rustypaste
Then, build Rustypaste using the following command:
cargo build --release
This will compile Rustypaste and create an executable file in the target/release directory.
Next, copy the .env.example file to a new file named .env using the following command:
cp .env.example .env
This will create a new .env file based on the example file.
Now, open the .env file in your text editor and edit the following lines to match your database settings:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://rustypaste:password@localhost/rustypaste
Make sure to replace password with the password you chose during Step 2.
Finally, run Rustypaste using the following command:
./target/release/rustypaste
This will start Rustypaste and it should now be accessible in your web browser at http://localhost:8080.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rustypaste on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start using it to share code snippets and text with others.
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!
