Client-side usage

Self explanatory live examples:

ls -la | nc localhost 9999

cat file.txt | nc someserverrunningfiche.net 1234

echo just testing! | nc code.solusipse.net 9999

If you already haven't set up your server on localhost, try third line! My server is providing terminal pastebin server powered by fiche - code.solusipse.net on 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 [-bdpqs].
             [-d host_domain.com] [-p port] [-s slug_size]
             [-o output_directory] [-b buffer_size] [-q queue_size]

These are command line arguments. You don't have to provide any, but doing that is recommended. Without them, program will use these default settings:

domain = "http://localhost/";
basedir= "~/code/";
port = 9999;
slug_size = 4;
buffer_size = 8192;
queue_size = 100;

Examples:

fiche -d domain.com

fiche -s 6 -p 6666

Basic arguments

Most important is providing basedir and domain.

Basedir should be absolute path to directory where you would like to store text files.

Domain should be provided in such format domain.com.

Slug size: domain.com/SLUG_OF_CHOSEN_LENGTH/.

Parameters for advanced users

Buffer size
Queue size

Running as service

e 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/

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

In service mode you have to set output directory with -d 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. Remember that you have to distribute these files as plain text for safety measures!

There is sample configuration for nginx:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name mysite.com www.mysite.com;
    add_header Content-Type text/plain;

    location / {
            root /home/www/code/;
            index index.html;
    }
}
