Command line pastebin for sharing terminal output.

1. Clone into repository:

   https://github.com/solusipse/fiche.git
   

2. Build program:

   make
   

3. Install:

   sudo make install
   

Self explanatory live examples:

ls -la | nc localhost 9999

cat file.txt | nc solusipse.net 9999

echo just testing! | nc code.solusipse.net 9999

If you haven't already set up your server on localhost, try second or third command. My personal server is providing fiche-based service all the time on this address solusipse.net and this port 9999.

• To upload text you need to have netcat installed (to check if netcat is installed, simply type nc in terminal).

usage: fiche [-D6epbsdSolBuw].
             [-d domain] [-p port] [-s slug size]
             [-o output directory] [-B buffer size] [-u user name]
             [-l log file] [-b banlist] [-w whitelist]

These are command line arguments. You don't have to provide any, but providing basic is recommended. Without them, program will use these default settings:

domain = "http://localhost/";
basedir= "~/code/";
port = 9999;
slug_size = 4;
buffer_size = 8192;

Most important is providing basedir and domain.

Basedir should be absolute path to directory where you would like to store text files.

fiche -o /absolute/path/to/directory/

fiche -o /home/www/code/

Domain should be provided in such format domain.com.

fiche -d domain.com

fiche -d subdomain.domain.com

This will force fiche to create random slugs with given length, example:

fiche -s 6

http://domain.com/abcdef/

Set the user that fiche runs as using the -u option, example:

fiche -u _fiche

This option has effect only if fiche was started by root, otherwise it is ignored and fiche runs under the current user id.

This parameter defines max file size uploaded by user, by default it is set to 32768. Use -B parameter to change it:

fiche -B 2048

Path to file where all logs will be stored:

fiche -l /home/www/fiche-log.txt

Path to file where you provided all banned IP adresses:

fiche -b /home/www/fiche-bans.txt

If whitelist mode is enabled, only addresses from list will be able to upload files. There's example:

fiche -w /home/www/fiche-whitelist.txt

There is no specific syntax, there files may contain not only addresses.

Fork fiche to the background:

fiche -D

Fork can extend the charcter set for the URL:

fiche -e

this will allow fiche to accept connections from IPv6 clients:

fiche -6

Logging connections with banlist:

fiche -d domain.com -l /home/www/log.txt -b /home/www/bans.txt

Only for personal use with whitelist

fiche -d domain.com -w /home/www/whitelist.txt

Custom output directory, bigger slug size, reduced buffer, custom port:

fiche -d domain.com -o /media/disk/fiche/ -s 8 -B 2048 -p 6666

You can run fiche as service, there is simple systemd example:

[Unit]
Description=FICHE-SERVER

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/fiche -d code.solusipse.net -o /home/www/code/ -l /home/www/log.txt -u _fiche

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

In service mode you have to set output directory with -o parameter, there's example:

fiche -o /home/www/code/

To make files available for users, you need to host them somehow. Http server is easiest option. Just set root directory to BASEDIR.

There is sample configuration for nginx:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name mysite.com www.mysite.com;
    charset utf-8;

    location / {
            root /home/www/code/;
            index index.txt index.html;
    }
}
