Hastebin is an open source code snippet sharing service that allows users to share and collaborate on code snippets. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Hastebin on NetBSD.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
To install Hastebin on NetBSD, follow the steps below:
Open your terminal and log in as the root user.
Install the required dependencies.
# pkgin update
# pkgin install nodejs
# pkgin install git
Clone the latest Hastebin repository.
# cd /opt
# git clone https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-server.git
Navigate to the cloned repository directory and install the required modules using npm.
# cd haste-server/
# npm install
Create a new user to run the Hastebin process.
# useradd -m haste
Change the ownership of the cloned repository directory to the newly created user.
# chown -R haste:haste /opt/haste-server
Create a Hastebin startup script.
# vi /etc/rc.d/hastebin
Paste the following lines.
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: hastebin
# REQUIRE: DAEMON LOGIN
# BEFORE: SERVERS
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
. /etc/rc.subr
name="hastebin"
rcvar=$name
command="/usr/pkg/bin/node"
command_args="/opt/haste-server/bin/www"
user="haste"
pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
Save and exit the file.
Make the hastebin startup script executable.
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/hastebin
Start the Hastebin service and enable it to start at boot.
# /etc/rc.d/hastebin start
# rcctl enable hastebin
Open your web browser and enter the following URL to access the Hastebin service.
http://<netbsd-server-ip>:7777/
You should now have the Hastebin service up and running on your NetBSD server.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hastebin on your NetBSD server.
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!
