Installation

Install local development environment

Requires: git, docker, docker-compose.

git clone https://git.grytoyr.io/npaste
cd npaste
docker-compose up

The server will be accessible via http://localhost:3000.

Install in production

Requires: git, docker.

Decide which version (git tag) to run and check out the tag.

git clone https://git.grytoyr.io/npaste
cd npaste
git checkout $TAG_NAME

Modify the values in data/config.production.json.

Build the docker image with (remember the dot at the end): docker build -t npaste:latest .

Run the container: docker run --init --name npaste_1 --restart=always --volume="$(pwd)/data:/home/node/app/data" --publish="3000:3000" -d npaste:latest

This will start the container and accept connections on port 3000. It’s advised to use nginx or another reverse proxy to add features such as TLS, etc.

Upgrading in production

Run git pull and checkout the tag you wish to upgrade to. Run the same build command (docker build etc...) as described in Install in production.

Upgrading will at this time lead to some downtime.

Stop and remove the container: docker stop npaste_1 && docker rm npaste_1

After the commands above are done, issue the run command (docker run etc...) as described in Install in production.
