Short{Paste} is a web-based service that allows users to store and share simple text snippets. It is open-source and available on GitHub. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Short{Paste} on NetBSD.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
The first step is to install the required packages. We will be using the pkgin package manager to install the necessary packages. Run the following commands to install:
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin install nodejs
Next, we need to clone the Short{Paste} project from its GitHub repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/adyanth/shortpaste.git
We need to make some changes to the configuration file for Short{Paste}.
First, navigate to the Short{Paste} directory:
cd shortpaste
Next, rename the config-sample.json file to config.json:
mv config-sample.json config.json
Now, open the config.json file in your preferred text editor, and change the following:
"url": Replace http://localhost:8080 with the domain name or IP address of your server."port": Replace 8080 with the port number you want Short{Paste} to run on.Finally, we need to install the project dependencies and launch the server.
Run the following commands:
npm install
npm start
The server is now running, and you can access it by navigating to http://your-domain.com:your-port in a web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Short{Paste} on NetBSD.
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!
