How to Install Bepasty on Linux Mint Latest

Bepasty is an open-source, simple file pastebin that allows you to store and share text and file efficiently. In this tutorial, we'll go through the process of installing Bepasty on Linux Mint Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Linux Mint Latest server
• Linux basic knowledge
• Access to the command-line interface

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To install Bepasty, you need to install the following dependencies:

• Python version 2.7 or later
• pip (Python package manager)
• virtualenv (Python virtual environments system)

You can install pip and virtualenv from the command-line using the following command:

sudo apt install python-pip virtualenv

Step 2: Create a Virtual Environment

We'll create a virtual environment to install Bepasty and its dependencies.

1. Create a new directory and navigate into it:

   mkdir bepasty
   cd bepasty
   

2. Create a new virtual environment named venv:

   virtualenv venv
   

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   source venv/bin/activate
   

Step 3: Install Bepasty

1. Install Bepasty using pip:

   pip install bepasty
   

Step 4: Configure Bepasty

1. Create a new directory for your Bepasty instance (e.g., /var/bepasty):

   sudo mkdir /var/bepasty
   sudo chown your_user:your_group /var/bepasty
   

   Replace your_user:your_group with the actual user and group that will run the Bepasty instance.

2. Create a new configuration file for Bepasty:

   nano /var/bepasty/bepasty.conf
   

   Paste the following configuration into the file:

   [app:main]
   use = egg:bepasty#main
   mongodb_url = mongodb://localhost/bepasty
   mongodb_replicaset = ''
   paste.server_factory = bepasty.server:make_server
   bepasty.backend = mongogridfs
   bepasty.root = /var/bepasty/data
   bepasty.secret_key = changeme
   bepasty.auth = []
   bepasty.anonymous_upload = yes
   bepasty.view.list_sort_default = '-mtime'
   

   Save and close the file.

3. Create a new directory for Bepasty data:

   sudo mkdir /var/bepasty/data
   sudo chown your_user:your_group /var/bepasty/data
   

   Replace your_user:your_group with the actual user and group that will run the Bepasty instance.

Step 5: Run Bepasty

1. Start the Bepasty server:

   bepasty-server /var/bepasty/bepasty.conf
   

2. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/ to access the Bepasty interface.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed and configured Bepasty on Linux Mint Latest. You can now start sharing your text and files using your own private, self-hosted pastebin.

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!
