This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Wastebin, which is an open-source project available on Github. Wastebin is a fast and simple pastebin replacement, written in Go. This tutorial is specifically for the Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before starting, make sure you have the following installed in your system:
To install Go on your Ubuntu Server, you need to download Go from the official website.
wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.16.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded package to /usr/local:
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.16.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Next, set the environment variables for Go:
sudo nano /etc/profile.d/goenv.sh
Add the following lines to the file:
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin
Save and close the file.
Reload the file to apply the changes:
source /etc/profile.d/goenv.sh
Check if Go is installed and working:
go version
Clone the Wastebin repository using Git:
git clone https://github.com/matze/wastebin.git
Change directory to the Wastebin directory:
cd wastebin
Build the Wastebin binary:
make
Run the Wastebin binary:
./wastebin
Open your favorite browser and access Wastebin at http://localhost:8080. You can create a new paste by typing or pasting text in the input field and clicking the "Save" button.
In this tutorial, we have explained how to install Wastebin on Ubuntu Server Latest. Now you can use Wastebin to create and share pastes on your own server.
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!
