grisu48/pasta repository overview

⁠pasta

Stupid simple pastebin service written in go.

Fastest way of deploying is via the deploy_pasta.sh⁠ script.

⁠Run via docker

The easiest way of self-hosting a pasta server is via the docker image⁠. All you need to do is

• Create your data directory
• Put the pastad.toml⁠ file there
• Start the container, mount the data directory as /data

Assuming your data is in /srv/pasta/ you can do

docker container run -d -v /srv/pasta:/data -p 127.0.0.1:8199:8199 grisu48/pasta

Configure your reverse proxy (e.g. nginx) then accordingly. I don't recomment to publish pastad on port 80 without a reverse proxy.

⁠Run on RancherOS

Let's assume we have /dev/sda for the system and /dev/sdb for data.

• Prepare persistent storage for data
• Install the system with given cloud-init.yaml⁠ to system storage
• Configure your proxy and enojoy!

$ sudo parted /dev/sdb
  # mktable - gpt - mkpart - 1 - 0% - 100%
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
$ sudo ros install -d /dev/sda -c cloud-init.yaml

⁠Run on openSUSE

We build openSUSE package at build.opensuse.org⁠. To install follow the instructions from software.opensuse.org⁠ or the following snippet:

# Tumbleweed
zypper addrepo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:ph03nix:tools/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:ph03nix:tools.repo
zypper refresh && zypper install pasta

⁠Build and run from source

make pastad                                    # Server
make pasta                                     # Client
make                                           # all
make static                                    # static binaries

Then create a pastad.toml file using the provided example (pastad.toml.example) and run the server with

./pastad

⁠Build docker image

make docker

Or manually:

docker build . -t feldspaten.org/pasta         # Build docker container

Create or run the container with

docker container create --name pasta -p 8199:8199 -v ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_DATA_DIR:/data feldspaten.org/pasta
docker container run --name pasta -p 8199:8199 -v ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_DATA_DIR:/data feldspaten.org/pasta

The container needs a data directory with a valid pastad.toml (See the example file⁠, otherwise default values will be used).

⁠Usage

Assuing the server runs on http://localhost:8199⁠, you can use the pasta tool or simply curl :

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8199' --data-binary @README.md

⁠pasta CLI

pasta is the CLI utility for easy handling. For instance, if you want to push the README.md file and create a pasta out of it:

pasta README.md
pasta -r http://localhost:8199 REAME.md

pasta reads the ~/.pasta.toml file (see the example file⁠)
