# Haste
Haste is an open-source pastebin software written in node.js, which is easily
installable in any network. It can be backed by either redis or filesystem,
and has a very easy adapter interface for other stores. A publicly available
version can be found at [hastebin.com](http://hastebin.com)

Major design objectives:
* Be really pretty
* Be really simple
* Be easy to set up and use

Haste works really well with a little utility called
[haste-client](https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-client), allowing you
to do things like:
2011-11-19 02:04:50 +01:00
`cat something | haste`
which will output a URL to share containing the contents of `cat something`'s
2012-01-27 15:46:24 +01:00
STDOUT. Check the README there for more details and usages.

## Tested Browsers
* Firefox 8
* Chrome 17
* Safari 5.3
2011-11-19 00:45:20 +01:00
## Installation
1. Download the package, and expand it
2. Explore the settings inside of config.js, but the defaults should be good
3. `npm install`
4. `npm start`
2011-11-29 15:25:22 +01:00
## Settings
* `host` - the host the server runs on (default localhost)
* `port` - the port the server runs on (default 7777)
* `keyLength` - the length of the keys to user (default 10)
* `maxLength` - maximum length of a paste (default none)
* `staticMaxAge` - max age for static assets (86400)
* `recompressStatisAssets` - whether or not to compile static js assets (true)
* `documents` - static documents to serve (ex: http://hastebin.com/about.com)
in addition to static assets. These will never expire.
2011-11-29 15:25:22 +01:00
* `storage` - storage options (see below)
* `logging` - logging preferences
* `keyGenerator` - key generator options (see below)
## Key Generation
### Phonetic
Attempts to generate phonetic keys, similar to `pwgen`
``` json
{
2012-04-08 05:51:48 +02:00
"type": "phonetic"
}
```
### Random
Generates a random key
``` json
{
2012-04-08 05:51:48 +02:00
"type": "random",
"keyspace": "abcdef"
}
```
The _optional_ keySpace argument is a string of acceptable characters
for the key.

## Storage
2011-11-29 15:25:22 +01:00
### File
2011-11-19 01:52:18 +01:00
To use file storage (the default) change the storage section in `config.js` to
something like:
2011-11-19 01:52:18 +01:00
``` json
{
2012-04-08 05:51:48 +02:00
"path": "./data",
"type": "file"
2011-11-19 01:52:18 +01:00
}
```
Where `path` represents where you want the files stored
### Redis
2012-01-17 20:43:33 +01:00
To use redis storage you must install the redis package in npm
2011-11-19 01:52:18 +01:00
2012-01-17 20:43:33 +01:00
`npm install redis`
2011-11-19 01:52:18 +01:00
Once you've done that, your config section should look like:
``` json
{
2012-04-08 05:51:48 +02:00
"type": "redis",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 6379,
"db": 2
2011-11-19 01:52:18 +01:00
}
```
You can also set an `expire` option to the number of seconds to expire keys in.
This is off by default, but will constantly kick back expirations on each view
or post.
2011-11-29 15:25:22 +01:00
2011-11-19 01:52:18 +01:00
All of which are optional except `type` with very logical default values.
2012-01-17 20:43:33 +01:00
### Memcached
To use memcached storage you must install the `memcache` package via npm
`npm install memcache`
Once you've done that, your config section should look like:
``` json
{
2012-04-08 05:51:48 +02:00
"type": "memcached",
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 11211
2012-01-17 20:43:33 +01:00
}
```
You can also set an `expire` option to the number of seconds to expire keys in.
This behaves just like the redis expirations, but does not push expirations
forward on GETs.
2012-01-17 20:43:33 +01:00
All of which are optional except `type` with very logical default values.
