Haste

Haste is an open-source pastebin software written in node.js, which is easily installable in any network. By default, it is filesystem backed, but it can also be set up to work with Redis quickly.

Major design objectives:

• Be really pretty
• Be really simple
• Be easy to set up and use
• By default, don't require any external database
• API-driven

Haste works really well with a little utility called haste-client, allowing you to do things like:

cat something | haste

which will output a URL to share, or

cat something | haste | pbcopy

to copy the URL to the clipboard.

Installation

1. Download the package, and expand it
2. Explore the settings inside of config.js, but the defaults should be good
3. npm install
4. npm start

Storage

File

To use file storage (the default) change the storage section in config.js to something like:

{
	"path": "./data",
	"type": "file"
}

Where path represents where you want the files stored

Redis

To use redis storage you must install the redis package in npm globall using

npm install redis --global

Once you've done that, your config section should look like:

{
	"type": "redis",
	"host": "localhost",
	"port": 6379,
	"db": 2
}

All of which are optional except type with very logical default values.
