Dpaste is a simple command-line tool that allows you to paste text and code snippets to the dpaste.org website. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install dpaste on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, please make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Dpaste package requires Python and pip to be installed on OpenBSD. If you don't have them installed, install them using the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add python py-pip
This command will install both Python and pip on your system.
To install dpaste on OpenBSD, run the following command:
$ sudo pip install dpaste
This command will download and install dpaste and all its dependencies.
To test if the installation was successful, run the following command:
$ dpaste -h
This command will display the different options and commands available for dpaste.
To configure dpaste, create a configuration file called .dpaste in your home directory by running the following command:
$ touch ~/.dpaste
Open the file using any text editor and enter the following lines:
[dpaste]
endpoint = https://dpaste.org/
This will configure dpaste to use the dpaste.org website as the default endpoint.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed dpaste on your OpenBSD machine. You can now use it to paste your text and code snippets to dpaste.org easily.
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!
