How to Install 0bin on POP! OS Latest?

0bin is a web application that allows you to share and store sensitive data, such as passwords or confidential documents, while maintaining anonymity. This tutorial will guide you on how to install 0bin on POP! OS Latest.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you should have the following:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing 0bin, you need to install the required dependencies. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:

sudo apt-get install git python3 python3-setuptools python3-dev build-essential nginx-light gunicorn3

This command will install Git, Python3, Python3-setuptools, Python3-dev, build-essential, Nginx-light, and Gunicorn3.

Step 2: Clone 0bin Repository

Next, you need to clone the 0bin repository. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Tygs/0bin.git

This command will download the 0bin repository to your current directory.

Step 3: Install 0bin

Once you have cloned the 0bin repository, you can install 0bin. Navigate to the 0bin directory:

cd 0bin

Install 0bin with the following command:

sudo python3 setup.py install

This will install 0bin to your system.

Step 4: Configure Nginx

You need to configure Nginx to serve 0bin. Create a new Nginx configuration file with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/0bin

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com; # Replace with your domain name
    root /usr/local/bin/0bin/static/;
    location / {
        try_files $uri @0bin;
    }
    location @0bin {
        uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/0bin.sock;
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME "";
    }
}

Save the file and exit the editor.

Create a symbolic link to enable the site:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/0bin /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Finally, restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 5: Configure Gunicorn3

You also need to configure Gunicorn3. Navigate to the 0bin directory:

cd /usr/local/bin/0bin

Start the Gunicorn3 server with the following command:

sudo gunicorn3 -w 4 -b unix:/tmp/0bin.sock --log-level error "app:create_app()"

This command will start Gunicorn3 and bind it to the Unix socket file /tmp/0bin.sock.

To start Gunicorn3 automatically at boot time, create a Systemd service file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/0bin.service

Add the following service configuration:

[Unit]
Description=Gunicorn instance to serve 0bin
After=network.target

[Service]
User=www-data
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/bin/0bin
ExecStart=/usr/bin/gunicorn3 -w 4 -b unix:/tmp/0bin.sock --log-level error "app:create_app()"

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save the file and exit the editor. Reload the Systemd daemon:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Enable the service to start automatically on boot:

sudo systemctl enable 0bin

Start the service to start Gunicorn3:

sudo systemctl start 0bin

Step 6: Access 0bin

You can now access 0bin by navigating to your server's domain name in your web browser. You should see the 0bin homepage.
