MojoPaste is a Perl-based pastebin application that allows users to share code or text snippets online. The following tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing MojoPaste on Windows 10.
Before installing MojoPaste, you will need to make sure that your system has the following prerequisites:
Open PowerShell on your Windows 10 machine by pressing the Windows key + R on your keyboard, typing powershell in the Run dialog box, and then pressing Enter.
Install cpanminus by running the following command in PowerShell:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install App::cpanminus'
Once cpanminus has been installed, install MojoPaste by running the following command:
cpanm App::mojopaste
After MojoPaste has been installed, you can check if it is working correctly by running the following command:
mojopaste
The output should show that MojoPaste has started and is listening on a specific port on your machine.
To make MojoPaste accessible from a web server, you will need to configure your server software to proxy requests to MojoPaste. Refer to your web server documentation for more information on how to set up a reverse proxy.
For Apache, you can use the following configuration in your httpd.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>
For NGINX, you can use the following configuration in your nginx.conf file:
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
Restart your web server to apply the changes and access MojoPaste through your server's URL.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MojoPaste on your Windows 10 machine. You can now use it to share your code snippets or text online.
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!
