Launch your own server

1. If you don't already have Docker installed, do so:

apt-get install -y docker docker.io docker-compose

1. Use a file like this docker-compose.yml:

version: "2"

services:
  lenpaste:
  	# If you want to run Lenpaste on your Raspberry Pi, use 'latest-armhf' instead of 'latest'.
    image: git.lcomrade.su/root/lenpaste:latest
    restart: always
    environment:
      # All parameters are optional
      - LENPASTE_ADDRESS=:80                  # ADDRES:PORT for HTTP server.
      - LENPASTE_DB_DRIVER=sqlite3            # Currently supported drivers: 'sqlite3' and 'postgres'.
      - LENPASTE_DB_SOURCE=/data/lenpaste.db  # DB source.
      - LENPASTE_DB_CLEANUP_PERIOD=3h         # Interval at which the DB is cleared of expired but not yet deleted pastes.
      - LENPASTE_ROBOTS_DISALLOW=false        # Prohibits search engine crawlers from indexing site using robots.txt file.
      - LENPASTE_TITLE_MAX_LENGTH=100         # Maximum length of the paste title. If 0 disable title, if -1 disable length limit.
      - LENPASTE_BODY_MAX_LENGTH=10000        # Maximum length of the paste body. If -1 disable length limit. Can't be -1.
      - LENPASTE_MAX_PASTE_LIFETIME=unlimited # Maximum lifetime of the paste. Examples: 10m, 1h 30m, 12h, 7w, 30d, 365d.
      - LENPASTE_ADMIN_NAME=                  # Name of the administrator of this server.
      - LENPASTE_ADMIN_MAIL=                  # Email of the administrator of this server.
    volumes:
      # /data/lenpaste.db - SQLite DB
      # /data/about.html  - About this server
      # /data/rules.html  - This server rules
      - "${PWD}/data:/data"
      - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
      - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"
    ports:
      - "80:80"

1. Execute while in the directory where docker-compose.yml is located:

docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d

TIP: If you want to install updates, run: docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d && docker system prune -a -f

Build from source code

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install git make gcc golang
git clone https://git.lcomrade.su/root/lenpaste.git
cd ./lenpaste/
make

You can find the result of the build in the ./dist/ directory.

Build Docker image

Why is it necessary? An official image may not support your architecture e.g. ARM64, PowerPC, etc. So you can build your own image to run on an officially unsupported architecture (of course you have to rebuild it every time you update Lenpaste).

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install git docker docker.io
git clone https://git.lcomrade.su/root/lenpaste.git
cd ./lenpaste/
git checkout vX.X
sudo docker -t localhost/lenpaste:latest ./

The localhost/lenpaste:latest image should now have appeared on your local machine. You can use it in docker-compose.yml or copy it to another machine.
