#Pastengo

Modern self-hosted pastebin service written in Go.

Motivation

Many Pastebin services exist but all are more complicated than they need to be. That is why I decided to write a pastebin service in golang.

This was originally a fork from https://github.com/ewhal/Pastebin, although the code has severely been modified and functionalities altered.

Supports mysql and sqlite3 database drivers.

Getting started

Prerequisities

• go
• gcc
• mysql (optionnal)

Installing

go get github.com/jf-guillou/pastengo
cd /path/to/install
go build github.com/jf-guillou/pastengo
go generate github.com/jf-guillou/pastengo

Updating

go get -u github.com/jf-guillou/pastengo
cd /path/to/install
go build github.com/jf-guillou/pastengo
go generate github.com/jf-guillou/pastengo

Configuration

Go generate should create a copy of the configuration template. You should edit config.json before running pastengo.

Address : Base url used for redirections
Port : HTTP listen port
Length : Length of paste ID
DBType : "sqlite3" or "mysql" based on your preferences
DBName : Database sqlite filename or mysql name 
DBUsername : Mysql database username (unused for sqlite)
DBPassword : Mysql database password (unused for sqlite)

Run

Pastengo will automatically create the required SQL tables required. Running the app is very simple, although we recommand using a process control system like Supervisord.

FAQ

go generate fails

go generate relies on commands that may not be available on your system. Doing this manually is pretty simple :

• copy folder $GOPATH/src/github.com/jf-guillou/pastengo/assets to /path/to/install/
• copy file $GOPATH/src/github.com/jf-guillou/pastengo/config.example.json to /path/to/install/config.json

TODO

• Avoid configuration overwrite on update
