Paste is a PHP-based pastebin software that allows users to share snippets of code or text online. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Paste on NetBSD.
Before we start, you need to make sure that you have the following:
To download the latest version of Paste, you can visit the official website and download the source code from there.
cd /usr/local/src/
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpaste/files/latest/download
Once the download is complete, you need to extract the archive.
tar xzf download
Now you need to move the Paste files to the document root of your web server.
cd phpaste
cp -R paste/ /usr/pkgsrc/www/htdocs/paste
To configure Paste, you need to modify the config.inc.php file.
cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/htdocs/paste/includes
cp config.inc.php.sample config.inc.php
Edit the file config.inc.php and enter the appropriate database settings.
$dbname = 'paste';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'pasteuser';
$dbpass = 'pastepasswd';
Now create the MySQL database and user for Paste.
mysql -u root -p
create database paste;
grant all on paste.* to pasteuser@localhost identified by 'pastepasswd';
quit
To finalize the installation of Paste, run the following command.
chmod -R 777 /usr/pkgsrc/www/htdocs/paste/tmp/
Open your web browser and visit http://your_server_ip/paste to access Paste.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Paste on NetBSD. You can use Paste to share code and text online with others.
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!
