bepasty 0.5.0

a binary pastebin / file upload service

bepasty is like a pastebin for all kinds of files (text, image, audio, video, documents, …, binary).

The documentation is there: https://bepasty-server.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Features

• Generic:
  • you can upload multiple files at once, simply by drag and drop
  • after upload, you get a unique link to a view of each file
  • on that view, we show actions you can do with the file, metadata of the file and, if possible, we also render the file contents
  • if you uploaded multiple files, you can create a pastebin with the list of all these files - with a single click!
  • Set an expiration date for your files
• Text files:
  • we highlight all text file types supported by pygments (a lot!)
  • we display line numbers
  • we link from line numbers to their anchors, so you can easily get a link to a specific line
• Image files:
  • we show the image (format support depends on browser)
• Audio and video files:
  • we show the html5 player for it (format support depends on browser)
• PDFs:
  • we support rendering PDFs in your browser (if your browser is able to)
• Storage: we use a storage backend api, currently we have backends for:
  • filesystem storage (just use a filesystem directory to store <uuid>.meta and <uuid>.data files)
  • currently there are no other storage implementations in master branch and releases. The “ceph cluster” storage implementation has issues and currently lives in branch “ceph-storage” until these issues are fixed.
• Keeping some control:
  • flexible permissions: create, read, delete, admin
  • assign permissions to users of login secrets
  • assign default permissions to not-logged-in users
  • you can purge files from storage by age, inactivity, size, type, …
  • you can do consistency checks on the storage

Development

# Clone the official bepasty-server (or your fork, if you want to send PULL requests)
git clone https://github.com/bepasty/bepasty-server.git
cd bepasty-server
# Create a new virtualenv
virtualenv ~/bepasty
# Activate the virtualenv
source ~/bepasty/bin/activate
# This will use the current directory for the installed package
# Very useful during development! It will also autoreload when files are changed
pip install -e .
# Run the bepasty-server in debug mode. The server is reachable in http://127.0.0.1:5000
bepasty-server --debug
