Usage

Paste URL

Say we have a paste with the id of: InRZdveK9g. This is what the url would look like:

https://pastes.example.com/InRZdveK9g

What happens if you forget or want to change the syntax highlighting of the paste? We can add a file extension to the end of the paste URL:

https://pastes.example.com/InRZdveK9g.py

Hasty Paste provides a management CLI.

Please be aware this CLI is experimental, usage may change without notice.

Depending on how Hasty Paste was installed, usage will vary.

If you have installed through the official Docker image accessing it is simple.

You can create a temporary container, making sure it has the same volume mount as your running instance.

docker run --rm -v <volume name>:/app/data --help

You can also run the CLI program directly by using docker exec. This avoids creating containers:

docker exec <container name> sh cli --help

Running without Docker is still as simple:

The PASTE_ROOT environment variable must be set

python -m paste_bin.cli --help

This section will just show some example commands that can be given. More are explained in the in-built help.

If you want to ensure expired pasted are removed you can use:

cli cleanup -y --expired

If you wanted to remove old pastes you can. The following command illustrates removing pastes older than 365 days:

cli cleanup -y --older-than 365

Extending this command you could also optionally also remove expired pastes at the same time as well:

cli cleanup -y --expired --older-than 365
