In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Hastebin on Void Linux. Hastebin is a free and open-source pastebin service that allows you to share code, texts, and other information with other people easily.
Before installing Hastebin on Void Linux, you need to have the following:
Hastebin is built with Node.js, so the first thing you need to do is install Node.js and NPM. Open the Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S nodejs npm
Hastebin uses Redis as a database to store the pastes. So, you need to install Redis server. Run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo xbps-install -S redis
To install Hastebin, you need to clone the Git repository from the official source. Run the following command in the Terminal:
git clone https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-server.git
Switch to the directory:
cd haste-server
Install the dependencies using NPM:
npm install
Open the Redis configuration file in the editor of your choice:
sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
Find the line that starts with "bind" and change the loopback address to "0.0.0.0" like this:
bind 0.0.0.0
Save and close the file.
Start Redis server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start redis
Finally, start Hastebin with the following command:
npm start
You should see the following output:
> haste-server@0.4.0 start /path/to/haste-server
> node server.js
Listening on http://0.0.0.0:7777
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:7777. You should see the Hastebin homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hastebin on Void Linux. You can start sharing your code, texts, and other information with other people easily.
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!
