Pastefy is a free, open-source paste service that allows you to share code snippets, texts, and images with others. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Pastefy on Void Linux.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Pastefy is built using the Flask web framework, so you need to install the following dependencies:
sudo xbps-install python3 python3-devel gcc make libffi-dev openssl-dev uwsgi uwsgi-python3
Goto to the folder where you want to install Pastefy and clone the repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pastefy/pastefy.git
Inside the pastefy directory, run the following command to install Pastefy:
sudo python3 setup.py install
Copy the example configuration file to the appropriate location:
sudo cp /path/to/pastefy/conf/config.example.py /etc/pastefy/config.py
Edit /etc/pastefy/config.py and configure it according to your requirements.
Run the following command to start Pastefy on port 80 (or any other port you specified in the configuration file):
sudo uwsgi --ini /path/to/pastefy/conf/uwsgi.ini
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost to access Pastefy. If you are accessing it from another machine, you need to replace localhost with the IP address of the machine where Pastefy is installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pastefy on Void Linux.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Pastefy on Void Linux. You can now use this paste service to share your code snippets, texts, and images with others.
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!
