#snipPYt

one click install self-hosted code snippets

I just wanted to share some snippets in my local network without having to send it to gist, pastebin, etc. I also did not want to install and configure a network server to run a one page application, so I wrote this piece of code that hold code snippets on my PC until it reboots (or forever, if the shelve file is outside /tmp).

Install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Download the repository and run

python setup build

and

python setup.py install

alternativally use pip:

pip install snippyt

to use client application with pasting, install xclip

`

Launch with defaults: python main.py serve and it will store snippets in /tmp/snippyt and listen on port 9090.

If you want specificy port and storage file, use: ./snippyt.py serve -p 9090 -storage /tmp/youdatabase

For daemonizing it, just lauch it with the -b flag.
