Chipku - a no frill pastebin 🗑️

==============================

Pastebin in Golang.

This is an in-memory paste bin which tries to be extremely minimal and doesn't get in the way. Simply a tool to quickly share snippets. No backend databases, no code formatting or code commenting, no self-destructing messages.

If you restart the application, you **will lose** your snippets.

Installation

------------

You may download the standalone binary from the [releases](https://github.com/abhi-g80/chipku/releases) section and run it as,

    ./chipku serve

By default the binary starts listening on port `8080`. To change this, please set the port using `--port` flag.

    ./chipku serve --port=8081

Or you may download the project and build (or run) from source,

    go build -o chipku && ./chipku serve

    # or

    go install && chipku serve

Usage

-----

Simply visit the homepage and paste your text that you would like to share.

Or you can simply use command-line to `PUT` your text, using `httpie`

![httpie](docs/httpie.png "httpie")

To get your snippet in command-line, set the `X-No-Html` HTTP header,

![httpie-get](docs/httpie-get.png "httpie-get")

Development

------------

To run tests, use

    make test

Building the docker image and running it using docker-compose (serves over port 8090)

    make up

Checking the logs

```bash

docker compose logs # or docker-compose logs

```

![dockerlogs](docs/dockerlogs.png "dockerlogs")

Structured logs for easy parsing in tools like Datadog.

For linting and local builds

    make lint

    make build
