=====
# fiche
Command line pastebin for sharing terminal output.
## Warning
## Secure branch ##
Do not use code from this branch. Please use code from [master](https://github.com/solusipse/fiche) instead.
## Secure branch (legacy note)
This branch is the result of merging two pull requests: [#16](https://github.com/solusipse/fiche/pull/16) by [Adam Schwalm](https://github.com/ALSchwalm) and [#17](https://github.com/solusipse/fiche/pull/17) by [Renaud Allard](https://github.com/renaudallard), which contained some security-related improvements. It is recommended for `BSD` users or for those who would like to `arc4random`.
## Installation ##
1. Clone into repository:
```
https://github.com/solusipse/fiche.git
```
2. Build program:
```
make
```
3. Install:
```
sudo make install
```
## Client-side usage ##
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).
## Server-side usage ##
```
usage: fiche [-DepbsdolBuw].
[-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;
```
### Arguments ###
Most important is providing **basedir** and **domain**.
-----------------
#### Basedir ####
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 ####
Domain should be provided in such format ```domain.com```.
```
fiche -d domain.com
```
```
fiche -d subdomain.domain.com
```
-----------------
#### Slug size ####
This will force fiche to create random slugs with given length, example:
```
fiche -s 6
```
```
http://domain.com/abcdef/
```
-----------------
#### User name ####
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.
-----------------
#### Buffersize ####
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
```
-----------------
#### Log file ###
Path to file where all logs will be stored:
```
fiche -l /home/www/fiche-log.txt
```
-----------------
#### Ban list ###
Path to file where you provided all banned IP adresses:
```
fiche -b /home/www/fiche-bans.txt
```
-----------------
#### White list ####
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
```
-----------------
#### Whitelist and banlist syntax ####
There is no specific syntax, there files may contain not only addresses.
-----------------
#### Daemonize ####
Fork fiche to the background:
fiche -D
-----------------
#### Extended character set for the URL ####
Fork can extend the charcter set for the URL:
fiche -e
-----------------
#### Examples ####
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
```
## Running as service ##
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/
```
## Webserver ##
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;
}
}
```
