PurritoBin is an open-source pastebin alternative that allows users to host their own pastes. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install PurritoBin on Void Linux.
PurritoBin is written in Go, so the first requirement is to have the Go programming language installed on your system.
To install Go, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo xbps-install go
This will install the latest version of Go on your system.
Before we can install and run PurritoBin, we need to install its dependencies.
To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo xbps-install git redis
This command will install the git and redis packages on your system.
Next, we need to clone the PurritoBin repository.
Navigate to the directory where you want to install PurritoBin and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/PurritoBin/PurritoBin.git
This will clone the latest version of PurritoBin on your system.
Now that we have cloned the PurritoBin repository, we need to build it.
Navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository and run the following command:
cd PurritoBin && go build
This will build the PurritoBin binary.
Before we can run PurritoBin, we need to configure it.
Copy the config.example.toml file in the PurritoBin directory and rename it to config.toml:
cp config.example.toml config.toml
Next, open the config.toml file using your favorite text editor and configure the settings according to your requirements. Remember to change the secret_key setting to a random string.
Finally, we can run PurritoBin.
To start the PurritoBin server, run the following command:
./PurritoBin
This will start the PurritoBin server on port 8080 by default.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install and configure PurritoBin on Void Linux. You can now use PurritoBin to host your own pastes.
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!
