# t0txt

## Website

[txt.t0.vc](https://txt.t0.vc)

## Description

Command line pastebin.

This allows you to upload text notes from your command line or browser. A URL to the note is returned.

## Usage

`<command> | curl -F 'txt=<-' https://txt.t0.vc`

You can also upload from the web at [txt.t0.vc](https://txt.t0.vc).

## Example

```text
$ cat yourfile | curl -F 'txt=<-' https://txt.t0.vc
  https://txt.t0.vc/MOJV
$ firefox https://txt.t0.vc/MOJV
```

### Bash Alias

Add this to your .bashrc, then `source ~/.bashrc`:

```text
alias txt=" \
    sed -r 's/\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[m|K]//g' \
    | curl -F 'txt=<-' https://txt.t0.vc"
```

Now you can pipe directly into txt! Sed removes colours.

```text
$ cat yourfile | txt
  https://txt.t0.vc/MOJV
$ firefox https://txt.t0.vc/MOJV
```

## Self-hosting

Install dependencies:
```text
$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python-virtualenv python3-virtualenv
```

Clone repo, create a venv, activate it, and install:
```text
$ git clone https://github.com/tannercollin/t0txt.git
$ cd t0txt
$ virtualenv -p python3 env
$ source env/bin/activate
(env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
```

You can now run it directly:
```text
(env) $ python t0txt.py
```

It's recommended to run t0txt as its own Linux user, kept alive with [supervisor](https://pypi.org/project/supervisor/):
```text
[program:t0txt]
user=t0txt
directory=/home/t0txt/t0txt
command=/home/t0txt/t0txt/env/bin/python -u t0txt.py
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/t0txt.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
stdout_logfile=/var/log/t0txt.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
```

To expose t0txt to http / https, you should configure nginx to reverse proxy:
```text
server {
    listen 80;

    root /var/www/html;
    index index.html index.htm;

    server_name txt.t0.vc;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5002/;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}
```

Then run `sudo certbot --nginx` and follow the prompts.
