dpaste is a simple pastebin service that allows users to share code snippets, error logs, and other text data. This tutorial will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to install dpaste on Void Linux.
Before installing dpaste, it is recommended to update the system with the latest packages and repositories. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suv
This command will synchronize the package databases and update the installed packages.
dpaste requires some dependencies to be installed on the system before it can be installed. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo xbps-install git python3-dev python3-pip uwsgi uwsgi-python3
The above command will install git, python3-pip, python3-dev, uwsgi, and uwsgi-python3 packages.
To install dpaste on your system, you need to clone the dpaste repository to your local machine. Run the following command to do so:
git clone https://github.com/bartTC/dpaste.git /tmp/dpaste
This command will clone the dpaste repository to the /tmp/dpaste directory.
Run the following command to install dpaste:
cd /tmp/dpaste
sudo python3 setup.py install
This command will install dpaste on your system.
dpaste uses the uwsgi server to run the application. You need to create a uwsgi configuration file to configure the server. Run the following command to create a file:
sudo nano /etc/uwsgi/dpaste.ini
Copy and paste the following configurations into the file.
[uwsgi]
chdir = /tmp/dpaste
module = dpaste.wsgi:application
master = true
processes = 10
socket = /run/uwsgi/dpaste.sock
chmod-socket = 664
vacuum = true
Save and close the file.
Start and enable the uwsgi service using the following commands:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/uwsgi /var/service/
sudo sv start uwsgi
This command will create a symbolic link to the uwsgi service and start the service.
Open a web browser and enter "http://127.0.0.1:8000/" in the address bar. You should see the dpaste homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed dpaste on your Void Linux system. You can now start using dpaste to share snippets of code and text data with your peers.
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!
