Spacebin is an open-source paste bin service that allows users to share code and text snippets. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Spacebin on nixOS Latest.
Before we start, make sure you have a nixOS Latest installation up and running.
First, we need to install the required dependencies for Spacebin. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nodePackages.node
This command will install the latest version of Node.js on your nixOS Latest system.
Next, we need to clone the Spacebin repository from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/spacebin-org/spirit.git
Once the Spacebin repository is cloned, navigate to the spirit directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
This command will download and install all the dependencies required for Spacebin.
Now that all dependencies are installed, we need to create a configuration file for Spacebin. Navigate to the config directory and copy the config.example.js file to config.js:
cd config
cp config.example.js config.js
Then, open the config.js file in your preferred text editor and modify the configuration settings if needed.
Finally, we can start the Spacebin server by running the following command:
npm start
This command will start the Spacebin server. You can now access the Spacebin web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Spacebin on nixOS Latest. Have fun sharing your code and text snippets!
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!
