guile-pastebin

Minimalist pastebin written in Guile Scheme.

Usage

Ensure Guile 3.0.9 (or later) is installed and execute the command:

./run pastebin data

Then navigate a web browser at http://localhost:8080.

The full pastebin command synopsis is as follows:

pastebin [OPTIONS] <DATA_DIR>

DATA_DIR is a writable filesystem location to store pastes.

Supported OPTIONS are following:

• --addr: IPv4 address to listen on (default: 127.0.0.1).
• --port: port number to run pastebin on (default: 8080).
• --css-url: URL of a CSS file (default: no stylesheet).

API

• / -- show top 5 paste list

• /post -- create paste

  • method: POST only
  • type: multipart/form-data

  • fields

    • text -- the paste content
    • showUrl=1 -- to show the raw URL after paste

• /raw/<ID> -- get paste content

  • method: GET only

Paste a file from command line

Paste a text file from command line and get a URL back: curl -F "text=<helloworld.cs" -F showUrl=1 http://localhost:8080/post

Notice the double-quotes around the parameters because < means IO redirection in sh.
