0bin is a minimalist, open-source, client-side encrypted pastebin that allows anyone to host anonymous plaintext files. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install 0bin on Manjaro.
Follow the below steps to install 0bin on your Manjaro machine:
Open your terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard.
Install some necessary packages required for the 0bin installation. Type the command below to do so:
sudo pacman -S git nginx php-fpm mariadb
Next, we need to install a few dependencies. We can do this by running the command below:
sudo pacman -S base-devel php-gd php-intl php-mcrypt php-sqlite php-tidy php-xml
Clone the 0bin source code repository from Github to your system using the command below:
git clone https://github.com/Tygs/0bin.git
Move into the 0bin project directory:
cd 0bin
Copy the conf.sample.php file to a new conf.php file:
cp includes/conf.sample.php includes/conf.php
Open the conf.php file in a text editor to make some necessary modifications:
nano includes/conf.php
In the file, scroll down to the mariadb settings section and change it to fit the following:
$cfg['db']['type'] = 'mariadb';
$cfg['db']['server'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['db']['port'] = 3306;
$cfg['db']['db'] = '0bin';
$cfg['db']['user'] = '0bin';
$cfg['db']['password'] = 'mysql_password';
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Create a database in MariaDB:
Log in to MariaDB using the command below:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password when prompted. After logging in, create a new database called 0bin:
CREATE DATABASE 0bin;
Create a new user called 0bin with a password of your choice:
CREATE USER '0bin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mysql_password';
Finally, give the new user full permissions to the 0bin database:
GRANT ALL ON 0bin.* TO '0bin'@'localhost';
Exit the MariaDB console by typing exit.
Set up your web server (NGINX) to serve the 0bin application files. Create a new file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory called 0bin:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/0bin
Paste the configuration below into the file:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /path/to/0bin;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
}
}
Replace /path/to/0bin with the full path to your 0bin directory. Save and exit the file.
Create a symbolic link to the newly created file:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/0bin /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/0bin
Restart the NGINX web server to apply changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Finally, start the php-fpm service:
sudo systemctl start php-fpm
Congratulations! You have successfully installed 0bin on your Manjaro machine. You can access your 0bin instance via a web browser by navigating to http://localhost in your browser.
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!
