binnit -- minimal pastebin-like in golang

That's just it. Preliminary version of a minimal, no-fuss pastebin-like service in golang.

It serves pastes in the format:

mypasteserver.org/abcdef1234567890

and stores them in a folder, one file per paste, whose filename is equal to the paste ID. The unique ID of a paste is obtained from the SHA256 of the concatenation of title, time, and content. Rendering is minimal, but can be enhanced.

binnit is currently configured through a simple key=value configuration file, whose name can be specified on the command line through the option -c <config\_file>. The available options are:

  • server_name (the FQDN where the service is reachable from outside)
  • bind_addr (the address to listen on)
  • bind_port (the port to bind)
  • paste_dir (the folder where pastes are kept)
  • templ_dir (the folder where HTML files and templates are kept)
  • max_size (the maximum allowed length of a paste, in bytes. Larger pastes will be trimmed to that length)
  • log_fname (path to the logfile)

TODO

  • provide a better standard template
