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 --no-auto-compile scripts/pastebin [OPTIONS] <DATA_DIR>
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=modules GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 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.
API
/post-- create paste- method: POST only
- type:
multipart/form-data fields
text-- the paste contentshowUrl=1-- to show the raw URL after paste
/raw/<ID>-- get paste content- method: GET only
- Anything else -- show top 5 paste list
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.
Reverse Proxy
It may be desirable to setup a reverse proxy on Apache Httpd (also a memo for myself), so you don't have to expose the 8080 or whatever port:
<Location "/pastebin">
ProxyPass "http://your_address:8080"
ProxyPassReverse "http://your_address:8080"
ProxyHTMLEnable On
ProxyHTMLDocType "<!DOCTYPE html>"
ProxyHTMLURLMap "/" "/pastebin/"
</Location>
