dpaste

dpaste is a Django based pastebin. It's intended to run separately but its also possible to be installed into an existing Django project like a regular app.

You can find a live example on http://dpaste.de/

Testing and local development

dpaste is continuously tested on Travis. You can also run the test suite locally with tox:

$ cd dpaste/
$ pip install tox
$ tox

A more manual approach is installing it all by hand in a virtual environment. This is also the preferred way to setup an environment for local development:

$ cd dpaste/
$ pip install -e .
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python runtests.py

Integrate dpaste into an existing project

Dpaste needs at least Django 1.4+ and is tested on Python 2.7 as well as Python 3.3.

Install the latest dpaste release in your environment. This will install all necessary dependencies of dpaste as well.

pip install https://github.com/bartTC/dpaste

Add dpaste and (preferred) south to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    # ...

    'mptt',
    'dpaste',
    # 'south', (supported)
)

Add dpaste and if you want the dpaste_api to your urlpatterns:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # ...

    url(r'pastebin/', include('dpaste.urls.dpaste')),
    url(r'pastebin/api/', include('dpaste.urls.dpaste_api')),
)

Finally just syncdb or if you use South, migrate:

manage.py migrate dpaste

Do not forget to setup a cron job to purge expired snippets. You need to run the management command cleanup_snippets. A cron job I use looks like:

30 * * * * /srv/dpaste.de/bin/python /srv/dpaste.de/bin/manage.py cleanup_snippets > /dev/null

Note also that dpaste does not come with Django admin integration. You need to setup an register the models in an admin.py yourself.
