# pasty
Pasty is a fast and lightweight code pasting server
## !!! Important deprecation notices !!!
> This version of pasty uses a new field name for the so far called `deletionToken`: `modificationToken`.
> Instances using **PostgreSQL** are **not affected** as a corresponding SQL migration will run before the first startup.
> If you however use **another storage driver** you may have to **update the entries** by hand or using a simple query, depending on your driver as I don't plan to ship migrations for every single storage driver.
> It may be important to know that the **data migrator has been upgraded** too. This may serve as a **convenient workaround** (export data (field will be renamed) and import data with changed field names again).
>
> The old `deletionToken` field will be processed corresponding to these changes but I strongly recommend updating old pastes if possible.
> Additionally, I changed the three `DELETION_TOKEN*`environment variables to their corresponding `MODIFICATION_TOKEN*` ones:
> - `DELETION_TOKENS` -> `MODIFICATION_TOKENS`
> - `DELETION_TOKEN_MASTER` -> `MODIFICATION_TOKEN_MASTER`
> - `DELETION_TOKEN_LENGTH` -> `MODIFICATION_TOKEN_LENGTH`
>
> Again, **the old ones will still work** because I do not want to jumble your configurations. However, **please consider updating** them to stay future-proof ^^.
## Support
As pasty is an open source project on GitHub you can open an [issue](https://github.com/lus/pasty/issues) whenever you encounter a problem or feature request.
However, it may be annoying to open an issue just to ask a simple question about pastys functionalities, get help with the installation process or mention something about the hosted version.
This is why I created a simple [Discord server](https://go.lus.pm/discord) you may want to join to get an answer to stuff like that pretty quickly.
## Disclaimer
The pasty web frontend comes with some service-related links in it (Discord server). Of course, you are allowed to remove these references.
However, a small reference to pasty would be nice ^^.
## Installation
You may set up pasty in multiple different ways. However, I won't cover all of them as I want to keep this documentation as clean as possible.
### 1.) Building from source
To build pasty from source make sure you have [Go](https://go.dev) installed.
1. Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/lus/pasty
```
2. Switch directory:
```sh
cd pasty/
```
3. Run `go build`:
```sh
go build -o pasty ./cmd/pasty/main.go
```
To configure pasty, simply create a `.env` file in the same directory as the binary is placed in.
To run pasty, simply execute the binary.
### 2.) Docker (recommended)
To run pasty with Docker, you should have basic understanding of it.
An example `docker run` command may look like this:
```sh
docker run -d \
-p 8080:8080 \
--name pasty \
-e PASTY_AUTODELETE="true" \
ghcr.io/lus/pasty:latest
```
Pasty will be available at http://localhost:8080.

## General environment variables
| Environment Variable | Default Value | Type | Description |
|---------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `PASTY_WEB_ADDRESS` | `:8080` | `string` | Defines the address the web server listens to |
| `PASTY_STORAGE_TYPE` | `file` | `string` | Defines the storage type the pastes are saved to |
| `PASTY_HASTEBIN_SUPPORT` | `false` | `bool` | Defines whether or not the `POST /documents` endpoint should be enabled, as known from the hastebin servers |
| `PASTY_ID_LENGTH` | `6` | `number` | Defines the length of the ID of a paste |
| `PASTY_ID_CHARACTERS` | `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789` | `string` | Defines the characters to use when generating paste IDs |
| `PASTY_MODIFICATION_TOKENS` | `true` | `bool` | Defines whether or not modification tokens should be generated |
| `PASTY_MODIFICATION_TOKEN_MASTER` | `` | `string` | Defines the master modification token which is authorized to modify every paste (even if modification tokens are disabled) |
| `PASTY_MODIFICATION_TOKEN_LENGTH` | `12` | `number` | Defines the length of the modification token of a paste |
| `PASTY_MODIFICATION_TOKEN_CHARACTERS` | `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789` | `string` | Defines the characters to use when generating modification tokens |
| `PASTY_RATE_LIMIT` | `30-M` | `string` | Defines the rate limit of the API (see https://github.com/ulule/limiter#usage) |
| `PASTY_LENGTH_CAP` | `50000` | `number` | Defines the maximum amount of characters a paste is allowed to contain (a value `<= 0` means no limit) |
## AutoDelete
Pasty provides an intuitive system to automatically delete pastes after a specific amount of time. You can configure it with the following variables:
| Environment Variable | Default Value | Type | Description |
|----------------------------------|---------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `PASTY_AUTODELETE` | `false` | `bool` | Defines whether or not the AutoDelete system should be enabled |
| `PASTY_AUTODELETE_LIFETIME` | `720h` | `string` | Defines the duration a paste should live until it gets deleted |
| `PASTY_AUTODELETE_TASK_INTERVAL` | `5m` | `string` | Defines the interval in which the AutoDelete task should clean up the database |
## Reports
Pasty aims at being lightweight by default. This is why no fully-featured admin interface with an overview over all pastes and reports is included.
However, pasty does include a way of abstract reports to allow frontends work with this information.
If enabled, pasty makes a standardized request to the configured webhook URL if a paste is reported.
| Environment Variable | Default Value | Type | Description |
|------------------------------|---------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `PASTY_REPORTS` | `false` | `bool` | Defines whether or not the report system should be enabled |
| `PASTY_REPORT_WEBHOOK` | `` | `string` | Defines the webhook URL that is called whenever a paste is reported |
| `PASTY_REPORT_WEBHOOK_TOKEN` | `` | `string` | Defines the token that is sent in the `Authorization` header on every request to the report webhook |
## Storage types
Pasty supports multiple storage types, defined using the `PASTY_STORAGE_TYPE` environment variable (use the value behind the corresponding title in this README).
Every single one of them has its own configuration variables:
### File (`file`)
| Environment Variable | Default Value | Type | Description |
|---------------------------|---------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| `PASTY_STORAGE_FILE_PATH` | `./data` | `string` | Defines the file path the paste files are being saved to |
