# Pinnwand
Pinnwand is a straightforward pastebin service designed for simplicity and ease of use. It provides a clean web interface to share and manage text snippets, code, or notes. It supports features like syntax highlighting, expiration times, and revocation.
## Pinnwand Installer Script
The Pinnwand installer script is a Bash script designed to automate the installation, upgrade, and setup of Pinnwand on a Linux system. It sets up and installs Pinnwand into a Python virtual environment, keeping it separate from the base system.
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher with `pip`
- Git installed on the system.
### Features
1. **Automated Installation**: The script can install Pinnwand by cloning its repository and setting up a virtual environment.
2. **Upgrade Support**: It can update Pinnwand to the latest version, a specified Git reference or main development branch.
3. **Custom Source Testing**: A `USE_LOCAL_SRC` option allows using manually downloaded sources and avoids the `git` dependency.
### Usage
1. Clone or download the script.
2. Set the username, install path and source path in the script.
3. Run the script as the `pinnwand` user:
```bash
sudo -u pinnwand-user ./pinnwand-installer.sh
```
## Running pinnwand
Create a `config.toml` with desired configuration options.
An example config file is available in the source tree under `etc/pinnwand-toml-example`.
### Manually
Specify the configuring file and the TCP/IP listening port on the command line.
```bash
sudo -u pinnwand-user path/to/pinnwand/venv/bin/pinnwand --configuration-path config.toml http --port 1234
```
### OpenRC init.d script
The provided init scripts help you run pinnwand as a service on a OpenRC system such as Gentoo and Alpine Linux.
1. Cooy `pinnwand.initd` to `/etc/init.d/pinnwand`
2. Cooy `pinnwand.confd` to `/etc/conf.d/pinnwand`
3. Set the correct user and path in `/etc/conf.d/pinnwand`
4. Run `rc-update add pinnwand` to enable autostart on boot.
5. Run `rc-service pinnwand start` to start pinnwand now.
