Hastebin is a free and open-source web application that allows you to share code snippets online quickly and easily. It is written in Node.js and uses MongoDB for the backend.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing and configuring Hastebin on your Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
To get started, update the package manager and install the required packages:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git build-essential redis-server mongodb
Next, you need to install Node.js on your server. Follow the steps below:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs
Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by checking the Node.js version:
node -v
Now, clone the Hastebin repository:
git clone https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-server.git /opt/haste
Change the directory to /opt/haste and install the dependencies:
cd /opt/haste
npm install
Create a directory for MongoDB data:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/mongodb
Change the ownership of the directory to the mongodb user:
sudo chown mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
Now, start the MongoDB service:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
Enable the MongoDB service:
sudo systemctl enable mongodb
Next, configure Redis:
sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
Set the bind parameter to 0.0.0.0:
bind 0.0.0.0
Save and close the file.
Start the Redis service:
sudo systemctl start redis-server
Finally, start the Hastebin server:
npm start
Hastebin should now be accessible at http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:7777/.
You have successfully installed Hastebin on your Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now use it to share code snippets with your friends or colleagues.
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!
