How to Install Hastebin on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Hastebin on Void Linux. Hastebin is a free and open-source pastebin service that allows you to share code, texts, and other information with other people easily.

Prerequisites

Before installing Hastebin on Void Linux, you need to have the following:

• A computer running Void Linux
• A non-root user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Node.js and NPM

Hastebin is built with Node.js, so the first thing you need to do is install Node.js and NPM. Open the Terminal and enter the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S nodejs npm

Step 2: Install Redis Server

Hastebin uses Redis as a database to store the pastes. So, you need to install Redis server. Run the following command in the Terminal:

sudo xbps-install -S redis

Step 3: Install Hastebin

Step 4: Configure Redis Server

Open the Redis configuration file in the editor of your choice:

sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

Find the line that starts with "bind" and change the loopback address to "0.0.0.0" like this:

bind 0.0.0.0

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Start Redis Server

Start Redis server using the following command:

sudo systemctl start redis

Step 6: Start Hastebin

Finally, start Hastebin with the following command:

npm start

You should see the following output:

> [email protected] start /path/to/haste-server
