guile-pastebin

A very simple pastebin written in Guile Scheme.

How to run

Execute one of the following commands in the root of repository:

guile -L modules scripts/pastebin [OPTIONS] <DATA_DIR>
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=modules scripts/pastebin [OPTIONS] <DATA_DIR>

Then navigate your web browser at http://localhost:8080. By default, pastebin listens on all IPv4 addresses (0.0.0.0) and runs on port 8080. These can be changed by passing the command line options --addr and --port, respectively.

<DATA_DIR> is a writable filesystem location you want to use to store pastes. If it doesn't exist, it will be created.

It was tested on Guile 3.0.9. Many thanks to the Guile development team for such great software.
