About
Zerobin is a lightweight, self-hosted, open source pastebin alternative for sharing snippets of text.
Setup
Zerobin is a minimalistic app in all departments (webapp, setup, and resource usage) although the webapp is fully functional and not bad looking. ;-)
Requirements
- a web server that supports php
- php (php5)
- the php5-gd module (your distro should have this as a package, it is php5-gd in debian repos)
Setting Up
- download and unzip the app:
- I like to run zerobin as a subdomain, my nginx config file is as follows:
- enable the nginx site, restart nginx and your zerobin instance should be up
Test
You should now be able to open a browser and go to your zerobin instance (e.g. https://zerobin.example.com), add an entry or two and open via the link in another browser.
