Rustypaste is a simple web-based pastebin application built in Rust. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Rustypaste on OpenBSD.
Before you begin with the installation process, you must have the following:
To install Rustypaste on OpenBSD, you need to install the following packages as dependencies:
$ doas pkg_add rust cargo sqlite3
Next, clone the Rustypaste repository from its Github page:
$ git clone https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the Rustypaste directory and build the application using the following command:
$ cd rustypaste
$ cargo build --release
This may take a few minutes to complete.
Once the build is complete, install Rustypaste by copying the binary to the /usr/local/bin/ directory:
$ sudo cp target/release/rustypaste /usr/local/bin/
Now that Rustypaste is installed, you need to create a configuration file to customize the application settings. You can use the provided rustypaste.toml.example file as a template:
$ cp rustypaste.toml.example rustypaste.toml
Open the configuration file and modify the settings to your requirements.
Rustypaste uses SQL database to store pastes. You need to create a database before you can start using Rustypaste. Run the following command to create a sqlite database:
$ sqlite3 pastes.db ""
Finally, start Rustypaste using the following command:
$ rustypaste
This will start Rustypaste and make it available on port 8000.
By following these simple steps, you can install Rustypaste on OpenBSD and start using it as a simple and secure pastebin application.
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!
