t0txt

Website

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.

Example

$ 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:

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.

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

Self-hosting

Install dependencies:

$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python-virtualenv python3-virtualenv

Clone repo, create a venv, activate it, and install:

$ 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:

(env) $ python t0txt.py

It's recommended to run t0txt as its own Linux user, kept alive with supervisor:

[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:

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.
