How to Install 0bin on NetBSD

0bin is a privacy-conscious pastebin tool that allows users to share and store encrypted text online. This tutorial explains how to install 0bin on NetBSD.

Note: This tutorial assumes you have administrative access to the NetBSD server where 0bin will be installed.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, it is necessary to install Python and PostgreSQL database. To do so, execute the following commands:

$ sudo pkg_add python3 postgresql95-server

Step 2: Configure a PostgreSQL Database

By default, PostgresSQL is not enabled. To enable it, run the following command:

$ sudo su postgres -c '/usr/pkg/bin/initdb --encoding=utf8 --locale=en_US.UTF-8 -D /var/postgresql/data'

Once PostgresSQL is enabled, create a new database for 0bin:

$ sudo su postgres
$ createdb 0bin

Step 3: Install 0bin from GitHub

Install 0bin by executing the following commands:

$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/py-0bin/
$ sudo make install clean

This will download and install 0bin and its dependencies.

Step 4: Configure 0bin

Create a new configuration file for 0bin:

$ sudo nan /usr/pkg/etc/0bin.conf

Copy and paste the following configuration settings into the file:

[app]
encryption_key = "your_encryption_key"
title = "0bin"
site_name = "0bin"
admin_email = "[email protected]"
postmark_api_key = ""

[database]
host = "127.0.0.1"
type = "postgresql"
name = "0bin"
user = ""
pass = ""

Replace your_encryption_key, [email protected], and the empty database user and pass with appropriate values. Save the file and exit the editor.

Step 5: Run 0bin

Finally, start 0bin by running this command:

$ cd /usr/pkg/lib/python3.6/site-packages/zerobin/
$ sudo -u www python3.6 paste.py --conf /usr/pkg/etc/0bin.conf

Access 0bin by going to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed 0bin on NetBSD. Enjoy confidential and private sharing of encrypted text online!
