According to the GitHub:

HASTE is an open-source pastebin software written in nodeJS, which is easily installable in any network. It can be backed by either Redis or filesystem, and has a very easy adapter interface for other stores

Major design objectives:

Some important steps to get ready to install Hastebin

This way we can install a client that we can use in almost any system or server to have a particular instance ourselves, so you can implement it in personal projects or internal networks.

• In addition to We will run the commands using the root user. So, open a terminal or via SSH and run

sudo -i

• After typing the password, make sure to update the operating system

apt update && apt upgrade

• After that, install the packages needed for the tutorial:

apt install software-properties-common git curl -y 

• So Now we have to install NodeJS on Ubuntu 21.04 and for this you have to add the application repository.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash -

• And then, install NodeJS by running

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

• In addition to check the installed versions with the commands:

node --version
npm --version

Install Hastebin Server

# cd haste-server# npm install

• Update the packages with npm.
