Launch your own server

1. If you don't already have Docker installed, do so:

apt-get install -y docker.io docker-compose

2. Use a file like this docker-compose.yml:

version: "2"

3. Execute while in the directory where docker-compose.yml is located:

docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d

TIP: If you want to install updates, run: docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d && docker system prune -a -f

Build from source code

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install git make gcc golang
git clone https://git.lcomrade.su/root/lenpaste.git
cd ./lenpaste/
git checkout vX.X
make

You can find the result of the build in the ./dist/ directory.

Build Docker image

Why is it necessary? An official image may not support your architecture e.g. MIPS, PowerPC, etc. So you can build your own image to run on an officially unsupported architecture (of course you have to rebuild it every time you update Lenpaste).

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install git docker.io
git clone https://git.lcomrade.su/root/lenpaste.git
cd ./lenpaste/
git checkout vX.X
sudo docker build -t localhost/lenpaste:latest ./

The localhost/lenpaste:latest image should now have appeared on your local machine. You can use it in docker-compose.yml or copy it to another machine.
