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
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, allowing you to do things like:
cat something | haste
which will output a URL to share containing the contents of cat something
's
STDOUT. Check the README there for more details and usages.

- Firefox 8

Installation
- Download the package, and expand it
- Explore the settings inside of config.js, but the defaults should be good
npm install
npm start
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.storage
- storage options (see below)logging
- logging preferenceskeyGenerator
- key generator options (see below)rateLimits
- settings for rate limiting (see below)
Rate Limiting
When present, the rateLimits
option enables built-in rate limiting courtesy
of connect-ratelimit
. Any of the options supported by that library can be
used and set in config.json
.
See the README for connect-ratelimit for more information!
Key Generation
Phonetic
Attempts to generate phonetic keys, similar to pwgen
{
"type": "phonetic"
}
Random
Generates a random key
{
"type": "random",
"keyspace": "abcdef"
}
The optional keySpace argument is a string of acceptable characters for the key.
Storage
File
To use file storage (the default) change the storage section in config.js
to
something like:
{
"path": "./data",
"type": "file"
}
Where path
represents where you want the files stored
Redis
To use redis storage you must install the redis
package in npm, and have
redis-server
running on the machine.
npm install redis
Once you've done that, your config section should look like:
{
"type": "redis",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 6379,
"db": 2
}
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.
All of which are optional except type
with very logical default values.
Postgres
To use postgres storage you must install the pg
package in npm
npm install pg
Once you've done that, your config section should look like:
{
"type": "postgres",
"connectionUrl": "postgres://user:password@host:5432/database"
}
You can also just set the environment variable for DATABASE_URL
to your database connection url.
You will have to manually add a table to your postgres database:
create table entries (id serial primary key, key varchar(255) not null, value text not null, expiration int, unique(key));
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.
All of which are optional except type
with very logical default values.
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:
{
"type": "memcached",
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 11211
}
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.
All of which are optional except type
with very logical default values.
