Paste.pm is a minimalistic code sharing website written in Python.

To install paste.pm, you should create a virtualenv and install the requirements there.

$ virtualenv pastepm --no-site-packages

Then, activate the virtualenv and install the requirements.

$ cd pastepm && source bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

After that, you should populate config.ini with your details. You will need to create a database to use psate.pm. When you have config.ini in place, creating the database is as simple as:

$ python create-db.py

You can deploy your paste.pm instance however you like; I personally use gunicorn with supervisord. Here is my supervisor config file:

[program:paste]
command=/home/service/webapps/paste/bin/gunicorn app:app -b 127.0.0.11:8000
directory=/home/service/webapps/paste
user=service
autorestart=true

And nginx acts as a reverse proxy:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name paste.pm;

        location / {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.11:8000/;
        }
}
