MicroBin is a minimalist pastebin server written in Go. If you want to use this software on your Void Linux installation, follow these simple steps:
Before you can start, make sure that you have the following packages installed on your system:
You can install them using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y git go gcc musl-dev
You need to clone the MicroBin repository from GitHub to your local machine. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/szabodanika/microbin.git
This will create a new directory called microbin in your current working directory.
After cloning the repository, go to the microbin directory and build the application. You can do this by running the following command:
cd microbin
go build
This will compile the source code and create a binary file called microbin.
Before you can start using MicroBin, you need to configure it. You can create a configuration file named config.toml in the microbin directory. You can use the following template:
[server]
listen = ":8080"
[database]
name = "microbin"
This configuration file tells MicroBin to listen on port 8080 and use a database called microbin. You can customize these settings according to your needs.
Once you have configured MicroBin, you can start the application by running the following command:
./microbin
This will start the MicroBin server. You can then access the web interface in your browser by navigating to http://localhost:8080.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure MicroBin on Void Linux. You can use this minimalist pastebin server to store and share your code snippets or any other text data.
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!
