Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
Firstly, navigate to the Hasty Paste website on https://enchantedcode.co.uk/hasty-paste/ and select the link to download the latest distribution of Hasty Paste.

Once Hasty Paste is installed, configure it to customize the port and domain settings, and to ensure Hasty Paste starts automatically on startup.
Firstly, create a directory for Hasty Paste settings:
sudo mkdir /etc/hastypaste
Navigate to the directory:
cd /etc/hastypaste
Create a configuration file named hastypaste.yaml and add the following code:
