https://paste.site.com/safe-toad.txt

$ curl https://paste.site.com/safe-toad.txt
some text
```

The public instance is available at [https://rustypaste.shuttleapp.rs](https://rustypaste.shuttleapp.rs) 🚀

## Installation

### From crates.io

```sh
cargo install rustypaste
```

### Arch Linux

```sh
pacman -S rustypaste
```

### Binary releases

See the available binaries on [releases](https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste/releases/) page.

### Build from source

```sh
git clone https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste.git
cd rustypaste/
cargo build --release
```

#### Testing

```sh
# run unit tests
cargo test -- --test-threads 1
```

## Usage

The standalone command line tool (`rpaste`) is available [here](https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste-cli).

### CLI

```sh
function rpaste() {
  curl -F "file=@$1" -H "Authorization: <auth_token>" "<server_address>"
}
```

**\*** consider reading authorization headers from a file. (e.g. `-H @rpaste_auth`)

```sh
# upload a file
$ rpaste x.txt

# paste from stdin
$ rpaste -
```

#### Expiration

```sh
$ curl -F "file=@x.txt" -H "expire:10min" "<server_address>"
```

(supported units: `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `sec`, `min`, `hours`, `days`, `weeks`, `months`, `years`)

#### One shot

```sh
$ curl -F "oneshot=@x.txt" "<server_address>"
```

#### URL shortening

```sh
$ curl -F "url=https://example.com/some/long/url" "<server_address>"
```

#### Paste file from remote URL

```sh
$ curl -F "remote=https://example.com/file.png" "<server_address>"
```

#### Cleaning up expired files

Configure `delete_expired_files` to set an interval for deleting the expired files automatically.

On the other hand, following script can be used as [cron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron) for cleaning up the expired files manually:

```sh
#!/bin/env sh
now=$(date +%s)
find upload/ -maxdepth 2 -type f -iname "*.[0-9]*" |
while read -r filename; do
	[ "$(( ${filename##*.} / 1000 - "${now}" ))" -lt 0 ] && rm -v "${filename}"
done
```

### Server

To start the server:

```sh
$ rustypaste
```

If the configuration file is not found in the current directory, specify it via `CONFIG` environment variable:

```sh
$ CONFIG="$HOME/.rustypaste.toml" rustypaste
```

To enable basic HTTP auth, set the `AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable (via `.env`):

```sh
$ echo "AUTH_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -base64 16)" > .env
$ rustypaste
```

See [config.toml](./config.toml) for configuration options.

#### Docker

Following command can be used to run a container which is built from the [Dockerfile](./Dockerfile) in this repository:

```sh
$ docker run --rm -d \
  -v "$(pwd)/upload/":/app/upload \
  -v "$(pwd)/config.toml":/app/config.toml \
  --env-file "$(pwd)/.env" \
  -e "RUST_LOG=debug" \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  --name rustypaste \
  orhunp/rustypaste
```

- uploaded files go into `./upload` (on the host machine)
- set the `AUTH_TOKEN` via `-e` or `--env-file` to enable auth

You can build this image using `docker build -t rustypaste .` command.

If you want to run the image using [docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/), simply run `docker-compose up -d`. (see [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml))

#### Nginx

Example server configuration with reverse proxy:

```nginx
server {
    listen 80;
    location / {
        proxy_pass                         http://localhost:8000/;
        proxy_set_header Host              $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For   $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        add_header X-XSS-Protection        "1; mode=block";
        add_header X-Frame-Options         "sameorigin";
        add_header X-Content-Type-Options  "nosniff";
    }
}
```

If you get a `413 Request Entity Too Large` error during upload, set the max body size in `nginx.conf`:

```nginx
http {
    # ...
    client_max_body_size 100M;
}
```
