# pbgopy
[](https://github.com/nakabonne/pbgopy/releases/latest)
[](https://pkg.go.dev/mod/github.com/nakabonne/pbgopy?tab=packages)
`pbgopy` acts like [pbcopy/pbpaste](https://www.unix.com/man-page/osx/1/pbcopy/) but for multiple devices. It lets you share data across devices like you copy and paste.
## Installation
Binary releases are available through [here](https://github.com/nakabonne/pbgopy/releases).
#### macOS
```
brew install nakabonne/pbgopy/pbgopy
```
#### RHEL/CentOS
```
rpm -ivh https://github.com/nakabonne/pbgopy/releases/download/v0.3.0/pbgopy_0.3.0_linux_amd64.rpm
```
#### Debian/Ubuntu
```
wget https://github.com/nakabonne/pbgopy/releases/download/v0.3.0/pbgopy_0.3.0_linux_amd64.deb
apt install ./pbgopy_0.3.0_linux_amd64.deb
```
#### Arch Linux
AUR package is available: [pbgopy](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pbgopy/)
```
yay pbgopy
```
#### Nix
```
nix-shell -p nixpkgs.pbgopy
```
#### Go
```
go install github.com/nakabonne/pbgopy@latest
```
#### Docker
```
docker run --rm nakabonne/pbgopy pbgopy help
```
## Usage
First up, you start the pbgopy server which works as a shared clipboard for devices. It listens on port 9090 by default.
You must allow access to this port for each device you want to share data with.
```bash
pbgopy serve
```
Populate the address of the host where the above process is running into the `PBGOPY_SERVER` environment variable. Then put the data entered in STDIN into the server with:
```bash
export PBGOPY_SERVER=http://host.xz:9090
pbgopy copy foo.png
```
## End-to-end encryption
`pbgopy` comes with a built-in ability to encrypt/decrypt with a variety of keys.
### With symmetric-key:
You can derive the key from password with the `-p` flag, which is provided so that you can encrypt/decrypt without previous setting.
```bash
pbgopy copy -p your-password foo.png
```
## From clipboard on your OS
You can put the data stored at the clipboard on your OS into pbgopy server.
```bash
pbgopy copy -c
```
