0bin is a privacy-conscious pastebin tool that allows users to share and store encrypted text online. This tutorial explains how to install 0bin on NetBSD.
Note: This tutorial assumes you have administrative access to the NetBSD server where 0bin will be installed.
First, it is necessary to install Python and PostgreSQL database. To do so, execute the following commands:
$ sudo pkg_add python3 postgresql95-server
By default, PostgresSQL is not enabled. To enable it, run the following command:
$ sudo su postgres -c '/usr/pkg/bin/initdb --encoding=utf8 --locale=en_US.UTF-8 -D /var/postgresql/data'
Once PostgresSQL is enabled, create a new database for 0bin:
$ sudo su postgres
$ createdb 0bin
Install 0bin by executing the following commands:
$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/py-0bin/
$ sudo make install clean
This will download and install 0bin and its dependencies.
Create a new configuration file for 0bin:
$ sudo nan /usr/pkg/etc/0bin.conf
Copy and paste the following configuration settings into the file:
[app]
encryption_key = "your_encryption_key"
title = "0bin"
site_name = "0bin"
admin_email = "replace-me@example.com"
postmark_api_key = ""
[database]
host = "127.0.0.1"
type = "postgresql"
name = "0bin"
user = ""
pass = ""
Replace your_encryption_key, replace-me@example.com, and the empty database user and pass with appropriate values. Save the file and exit the editor.
Finally, start 0bin by running this command:
$ cd /usr/pkg/lib/python3.6/site-packages/zerobin/
$ sudo -u www python3.6 paste.py --conf /usr/pkg/etc/0bin.conf
Access 0bin by going to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed 0bin on NetBSD. Enjoy confidential and private sharing of encrypted text online!
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!
