If you're looking for a simple and reliable pastebin service for your OpenBSD server, Pastefy is one of the best options out there. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Pastefy on OpenBSD.
Before you get started with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to install the required packages for Pastefy. Open your terminal and run the following command to install the git and perl packages:
pkg_add git perl
After installing the required packages, you'll need to clone the Pastefy repository. To clone the repository, use the following command:
git clone https://github.com/paste/pastefy.git /var/www/pastefy
Next, you need to install cpanm, which is the package manager for Perl modules. To install cpanm, run the following command:
curl -L https://cpanmin.us/ | perl - App::cpanminus
Once cpanm is installed, you can install the dependencies for Pastefy using the following command:
cd /var/www/pastefy && cpanm --quiet --notest --installdeps .
After installing the dependencies, you'll need to configure Pastefy. To do this, copy the config.yml.example file to config.yml and edit it:
cd /var/www/pastefy && cp config.yml.example config.yml && vi config.yml
In the config.yml file, you can change the port and address that Pastefy will listen on, if desired.
Finally, to start the Pastefy service, run the following command:
cd /var/www/pastefy && ./pastefy.pl
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Pastefy on OpenBSD. You can now access Pastefy in your web browser by going to http://your-server-ip:3000.
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!
