Prologic pastebin is a web-based application for sharing text files. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing prologic pastebin on MXLinux latest.
Git is a version control system that is required to download Prologic Pastebin source code. To install Git, open a terminal emulator and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
Enter your password and wait for the installation to complete.
To clone the Prologic Pastebin repository, type the following commands in your terminal:
git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/pastebin.git
cd pastebin
Before we can run Prologic Pastebin, we need to install the dependencies. To do this, type the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-wheel build-essential libffi-dev libssl-dev
To satisfy the python requirements Prologic Pastebin needs to function properly, type the following command in your terminal:
sudo -H pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now that you have installed Prologic Pastebin and its dependencies, it is now required to configure it. However, there are a few things you first need to know. The application stores its data in /var/www/pastebin/data and its configuration in /var/www/pastebin/conf/pastebin.yml.
To configure the application, create a configuration file using the sample provided by the application itself. Type the following commands in your terminal:
mkdir -p /var/www/pastebin/conf/
cp pastebin.yml.sample /var/www/pastebin/conf/pastebin.yml
To run Prologic Pastebin, type the following command in your terminal:
sudo python3 pastebin.py
To make the application available over the internet, you need to set up a web server. Apache is a popular choice for this. To install Apache, type the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Next, you need to configure Apache to serve Prologic Pastebin. To do this, create a new configuration file by typing the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf-available/pastebin.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
Alias /pastebin /var/www/pastebin/www
<Directory /var/www/pastebin/www>
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Next, enable the new configuration file by typing the following command:
sudo a2enconf pastebin
Finally, restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
To test if Prologic Pastebin is working correctly, open a web browser and go to the following URL:
http://localhost/pastebin/
You should now see the Prologic Pastebin web interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Prologic Pastebin on MXLinux 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!
