How to Install 0Bin on Void Linux

0Bin is an open-source solution that allows for the sharing and storing of sensitive data on online platforms. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps on how to install 0bin on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, ensure that you have root privileges on your Void Linux machine.

Step 1: Installing Dependencies

Before moving to the actual installation process, let's first install the dependencies required for 0bin.

Open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S gcc python3 python3-pip redis nginx

This will install GCC, Python3, Python3-pip, Redis, and Nginx packages needed for 0bin to work.

Step 2: Download 0Bin

Next, you need to download 0bin. To download the latest version of 0bin, use the following command in your terminal:

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

This will download the 0bin project in your current directory.

Step 3: Install 0Bin

To install 0bin, change the working directory to the 0bin's downloaded directory:

cd 0bin/

Now, install 0bin's dependencies using the following command:

sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Next, set up the database and create an admin account using the following commands:

sudo python3 bin/create_database.py
sudo python3 bin/new_user.py

Step 4: Configuring Nginx Server Block

The Nginx package has been installed in step 1, and now we need to configure it to work with 0bin. For that, we need to create a new Nginx server block configuration file under the location /etc/nginx/server.d/.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/server.d/0bin.conf

Then, copy and paste the following code in the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;
    root /home/your_user_name/0bin/;
    index index.html index.htm;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }

    location /static/ {
        alias /home/your_user_name/0bin/static/;
    }

    location ~ ^/api/(.*)$ {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/$1$is_args$args;
    }
}

Remember to modify the server_name and root directives according to your domain and user name, respectively.

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Running 0Bin

Now that 0bin has been installed and configured correctly, let's start the application and the Redis service.

Run the following command:

sudo python3 bin/0bin.py

0bin will start running on the default port, which is 8080.

In another terminal instance, start the Redis service by running:

sudo systemctl start redis

Step 6: Verify the Installation

To test if the installation went well, navigate to http://your_domain.com/ in your web browser. You should see the 0bin homepage.

From here, you can generate new pastes or login as an admin user to view pastes and manage the system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed 0bin on Void Linux.
