An easy Pastebin-like service with a command line client
Let me introduce you to Hastebin.
It is a simple pastebin service that you can self-host.
Server
The server bits are available at https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-server.
I personally use this Docker container: https://hub.docker.com/r/mkodockx/docker-pastebin
Client
The awesome part is that you can paste from the command line!
You have two choices: using gem or a simple bash alias that doesn’t require you to install anything (besides curl).
Using Gem
gem install haste
Create an alias in your .bashrc or .zshrc config:
alias pastebin="HASTE_SERVER=https://your-haste-server.com haste"
Restarting your session or source your config file.
Using a bash alias
pastebin() { a=$(cat); curl -X POST -s -d "$a" https://your-haste-server.com/documents | awk -F '"' '{print "https://your-haste-server.com/"$4}'; }
Demo
echo blah | pastebin
