# MicroBin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MicroBin is a super tiny and simple self hosted pastebin app written in Rust. The executable is around 6MB and it uses 2MB memory (plus your pastas).
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
Simply clone the repository, build it with `cargo build --release` and run the `microbin` executable in the created `target/release/` directory. It will start on port 8080.
|
|
|
|
To install it as a service on your Linux machine, create a file called `/etc/systemd/system/microbin.service`, paste this into it with the value of `ExecStart` replaced with the actual path to microbin on your machine.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=MicroBin
|
|
After=network.target
|

[Service]
|
|

|
|

|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then start the service with `systemctl start microbin` and enable it on boot with `systemctl enable microbin`.
|
|

|
