# Haste
|
||
|
||
Haste is an open-source pastebin software written in node.js, which is easily
|
||
installable in any network. It can be backed by either redis or filesystem,
|
||
and has a very easy adapter interface for other stores. A publicly available
|
||
version can be found at [hastebin.com](http://hastebin.com)
|
||
|
||
Major design objectives:
|
||
|
||
* Be really pretty
|
||
* Be really simple
|
||
* Be easy to set up and use
|
||
|
||
Haste works really well with a little utility called
|
||
[haste-client](https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-client), allowing you
|
||
to do things like:
|
||
|
||
`cat something | haste`
|
||
|
||
which will output a URL to share containing the contents of `cat something`'s
|
||
STDOUT. Check the README there for more details and usages.
|
||
|
||
## Tested Browsers
|
||
|
||
* Firefox 8
|
||
* Chrome 17
|
||
* Safari 5.3
|
||
|
||
## 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`
|
||
|
||
## Settings
|
||
|
||
* `host` - the host the server runs on (default localhost)
|
||
* `port` - the port the server runs on (default 7777)
|
||
* `keyLength` - the length of the keys to user (default 10)
|
||
* `maxLength` - maximum length of a paste (default none)
|
||
* `staticMaxAge` - max age for static assets (86400)
|
||
* `recompressStaticAssets` - whether or not to compile static js assets (true)
|
||
* `documents` - static documents to serve (ex: http://hastebin.com/about.com)
|
||
in addition to static assets. These will never expire.
|
||
* `storage` - storage options (see below)
|
||
* `logging` - logging preferences
|
||
* `keyGenerator` - key generator options (see below)
|
||
* `rateLimits` - settings for rate limiting (see below)
|
||
|
||
## Rate Limiting
|
||
|
||
When present, the `rateLimits` option enables built-in rate limiting courtesy
|
||
of `connect-ratelimit`. Any of the options supported by that library can be
|
||
used and set in `config.json`.
|
||
|
||
See the README for [connect-ratelimit](https://github.com/dharmafly/connect-ratelimit)
|
||
for more information!
|
||
|
||
## Key Generation
|
||
|
||
### Phonetic
|
||
|
||
Attempts to generate phonetic keys, similar to `pwgen`
|
||
|
||
``` json
|
||
{
|
||
"type": "phonetic"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Random
|
||
|
||
Generates a random key
|
||
|
||
``` json
|
||
{
|
||
"type": "random",
|
||
"keyspace": "abcdef"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The _optional_ keySpace argument is a string of acceptable characters
|
||
for the key.
|
||
|
||
## Storage
|
||
|
||
### File
|
||
|
||
To use file storage (the default) change the storage section in `config.js` to
|
||
something like:
|
||
|
||
``` json
|
||
{
|
||
"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, and have
|
||
`redis-server` running on the machine.
|
||
|
||
`npm install redis`
|
||
|
||
Once you've done that, your config section should look like:
|
||
|
||
``` json
|
||
{
|
||
"type": "redis",
|
||
"host": "localhost",
|
||
"port": 6379,
|
||
"db": 2
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also set an `expire` option to the number of seconds to expire keys in.
|
||
This is off by default, but will constantly kick back expirations on each view
|
||
or post.
|
||
|
||
All of which are optional except `type` with very logical default values.
|
||
|
||
If your Redis server is configured for password authentification, use the `password` field.
|
||
|
||
### Postgres
|
||
|
||
To use postgres storage you must install the `pg` package in npm
|
||
|
||
`npm install pg`
|
||
|
||
Once you've done that, your config section should look like:
|
||
|
||
``` json
|
||
{
|
||
"type": "postgres",
|
||
"connectionUrl": "postgres://user:password@host:5432/database"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also just set the environment variable for `DATABASE_URL` to your database connection url.
|
||
|
||
You will have to manually add a table to your postgres database:
|
||
|
||
`create table entries (id serial primary key, key varchar(255) not null, value text not null, expiration int, unique(key));`
|
||
|
||
You can also set an `expire` option to the number of seconds to expire keys in.
|
||
This is off by default, but will constantly kick back expirations on each view
|
||
or post.
|
||
|
||
All of which are optional except `type` with very logical default values.
|
||
|
||
### Memcached
|
||
|
||
To use memcached storage you must install the `memcache` package via npm
|
||
|
||
`npm install memcache`
|
||
|
||
Once you've done that, your config section should look like:
|
||
|
||
``` json
|
||
{
|
||
"type": "memcached",
|
||
"host": "127.0.0.1",
|
||
"port": 11211
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also set an `expire` option to the number of seconds to expire keys in.
|
||
This behaves just like the redis expirations, but does not push expirations
|
||
forward on GETs.
|
||
|
||
All of which are optional except `type` with very logical default values.
