perbin

a paste bin.

A fork of w4/bin that's still pretty minimalist. Adds simple persistence and customizes the theme to my own preference.

bin is written in Rust in around 300 lines of code. It's fast, it's simple, there's code highlighting and you can ⌘+A without going to the 'plain' page. It's revolutionary in the paste bin industry, disrupting markets and pushing boundaries never seen before.

so how do you get perbin?

Compile it from source using Cargo:

# nix-shell provides an environment with rust/cargo installed
$ nix-shell

[nix-shell:~/Code/bin]$ cargo build --release
   Compiling bin v1.0.0 (/Users/jordanjd/Code/bin)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 3.61s

[nix-shell:~/Code/bin]$ ./target/release/bin
    ...

how do you run it?

$ ./bin

funny, what settings are there?

$ ./bin

Usage: bin [<bind_addr>] [--buffer-size <buffer-size>] [--max-paste-size <max-paste-size>]

a pastebin.

Positional Arguments:
  bind_addr         socket address to bind to (default: 127.0.0.1:8820)

Options:
  --buffer-size     maximum amount of pastes to store before rotating (default:
                    1000)
  --max-paste-size  maximum paste size in bytes (default. 32kB)
  --help            display usage information

is there curl support?

$ curl -X PUT --data 'hello world' https://bin.gy
https://bin.gy/cateettary
$ curl https://bin.gy/cateettary
hello world

how does syntax highlighting work?

To get syntax highlighting you need to add the file extension at the end of your paste URL.
