Project description
dpaste is a Django based pastebin. It’s intended to run separately but its also possible to be installed into an existing Django project like a regular app.
You can find a live example on http://dpaste.de/
Testing and local development
dpaste is continuously tested on Travis. You can also run the test suite locally with tox:
$ cd dpaste/ $ pip install tox $ tox
A more manual approach is installing it all by hand in a virtual environment. This is also the preferred way to setup an environment for local development:
$ cd dpaste/ $ pip install -e . $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ python runtests.py
Integrate dpaste into an existing project
Dpaste needs at least Django 1.4+ and is tested on Python 2.7 as well as Python 3.3.
Install the latest dpaste release in your environment. This will install all necessary dependencies of dpaste as well:
pip install dpaste
Add dpaste and (preferred) south to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', # ... 'mptt', 'dpaste', # 'south', (supported) )
Add dpaste and if you want the dpaste_api to your urlpatterns:
urlpatterns = patterns('', # ... url(r'pastebin/', include('dpaste.urls.dpaste')), url(r'pastebin/api/', include('dpaste.urls.dpaste_api')), )
Finally just syncdb or if you use South, migrate:
manage.py migrate dpaste
Do not forget to setup a cron job to purge expired snippets. You need to run the management command cleanup_snippets. A cron job I use looks like:
30 * * * * /srv/dpaste.de/bin/python /srv/dpaste.de/bin/manage.py cleanup_snippets > /dev/null
Note also that dpaste does not come with Django admin integration. You need to setup an register the models in an admin.py yourself.
