Haste paste!

_A damn simple and pretty pastebin server._

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 of the original Haste by John Crepezzi can be found at
hastebin.com.

Major design objectives:

* Be really pretty.
* Be really simple.
* Be easy to set up and use.

Using from a terminal

Haste can be used very well even from terminal. There are many Haste clients
written in various languages:

* seejohnrun/haste-client (Ruby)
* jirutka/haste-client (Python)
* ajryan/winhaste (C#)
* flores/hastebin.sh (Bash)

Installation

$3

``sh
npm install -g haste-server
`

Then you can run it with haste-server.

$3

`sh
git clone https://github.com/jirutka/haste-server.git
cd haste-server
npm install
`

Then you can run it with npm start.

Settings

Settings are read from the configuration file specified by environment variable CONF (see below).
This file is parsed as JSON5, so comments are valid here and keys may not be quoted.

$3

* CONF ... path of the configuration file (default: ./config.json5).
* HOST ... the host the server listen on (default: localhost).
* PORT ... the port the server listen on (default: 7777).

#### 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.

#### File

To use file storage (the default) change the storage section in config.json5 to
something like:

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

Where path represents where you want the files stored.

#### Redis

To use redis storage you must install the redis package from npm:

npm install redis

Once you’ve done that, change storage to something 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.

#### Postgres

To use postgres storage you must install the pg package from npm:

npm install pg

Once you’ve done that, change storage to something 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:

`sql
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 from npm:

npm install memcache

Once you’ve done that, change storage to something 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.
