#paste.nilsu.org

This is the source code for a pastebin server. The code is very short and readable, but lacks options. It should be relatively easy to tweak and use as you'd like.

There are three separate projects in this repo. Each repo has it's own Makefile.

#cli

A basic cli tool which uploads a file to the pastebin server and prints the URL. If a folder is given it will be zipped and then uploaded. The cli binary is named pcf for historical reasons.

#landing

The landing page is a simple static site generated with hugo. Running make will generate the html and css files into a directory called public/.

#upload

A simple http request handler. It recieves post requests on the /upload route and stores files in a folder (configured with the -storage flag).

By default the upload server will bind to post 2016, but this can be configured with the -addr flag.

To use host your own pastebin server you'll need a reverse proxy / webserver such as caddy. Here's an example config with caddy that will host the static landing page and the upload handler:

paste.nilsu.org {
	reverse_proxy /upload localhost:2016
	root * /var/www/html/paste.nilsu.org
	file_server
}

I would also recommend creating an init script to run the upload server on boot. Here's an example with openrc:

#!/sbin/openrc-run
supervisor=supervise-daemon

name="paste-upload"
description="paste-upload"

command=${command:-/usr/bin/paste-upload}
command_background=true
command_user="paste:paste"
command_args="-storage /var/www/html/paste.nilsu.org"

pidfile="/run/${RC_SVCNAME}.pid"
output_log="/var/log/paste/paste.log"
error_log="/var/log/paste/paste.err"

depend() {
	need net
	use dns logger netmount
}
