A shameless clone of sprunge minus the google-app-engine for use in private networks. Handy for work if you need to share code or configuration snippets with collegues.

pasterd is a simple http webservice just like paste bin. You can store snippets of text based content using HTTP POST request and share them with the rest of the world using plaing HTTP GET requests.
You only need to download, install and run pasterd on the server side. Typically you run pasterd like any other bottle.py app; on 127.0.0.1 behind a proxy server such as nginx or apache.
You can install pasterd using pip:
$ pip install https://github.com/nrocco/pasterd/archive/master.zip#egg=pasterd-dev
This will install a program `pasterd`:
$ pasterd --help
usage: pasterd [-h] [-V] [-b address:port] [-u http://address:port] [-r]
Command line paste bin utility
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-V, --version show program's version number and exit
-b address:port, --bind address:port
Inet socket to bind to
-u http://address:port, --base-url http://address:port
The base url of this server
-r, --reload Auto respawn server
Start a new instance of `pasterd`:
$ pasterd -b 127.0.0.1:8000 -u http://pasterd.local
This will start a new instance of pasterd running on the loopback interface on port 8000. The argument to the -u or --base-url option is used inside the help text when you browse to pasterd using your favorite browser.
Now you can configure your http proxy server to proxy pass all requests for http://pasterd.local to 127.0.0.1:8000 and you're done.
After having installed pasterd on the server side from any client you can use e.g. curl to send GET and POST requests to pasterd.
To get information on how to use pasterd from the client point of view do:
$ curl http://pasterd.local
To create a paste execute some command and pipe it to curl:
$ <command> | curl -F 'p=<-' http://pasterd.local
For example:
$ cat ~/.vimrc | curl -F 'p=<-' http://pasterd.local
