Prerequisites

• A web server: Apache, LiteSpeed, Nginx, Lighttpd, Cherokee.
• A database: MySQL / MariaDB, Postgres. OR a writable folder on your filesystem for SQLite.
• PHP version 7.0 or newer is required.
• PHP-GD for the creation of QR-codes.

Installation

1. Download SNIP from https://github.com/MercanoGlobal/SNIP/releases
2. Create a user and database for SNIP
3. Upload the contents of the htdocs folder to your web host
4. Copy application/config/snip.php.dist to application/config/snip.php
5. Edit configuration settings in application/config/snip.php - everything is described there
6. You're done!

• The database structure will be created automatically if it doesn't exist.
• No special file permissions are needed by default. Optional: If you want to have the JavaScript and CSS files minified, the static/asset/ folder has to be writable.
• To ensure that pastes with an expiration set get cleaned up, define the cron key in the config and set up a cronjob, for example:
  • */5 * * * * curl --silent http://yoursite.com/cron/[key]
• If you encounter errors with stylesheets and paths, make sure your base_url config value is not empty (see here).
• Be sure to also copy the .htaccess file when you move files around. This is a hidden file and easily overlooked.

How to run it in Docker

docker-compose up

This automatically builds the docker-image and fires up Nginx, PHP and MariaDB. Access your SNIP instance at http://localhost/.

All files are served directly; the SNIP-configuration for Docker resides in docker/snip.php

Upgrade Notice

Note that, due to the vast amount of modifications, compatibility with older versions isn't guaranteed. Please backup & test on a dev instance first.

Copy your application/config/stikked.php - stiqued.php config file away. Upload the new version. Compare the differences between stikked.php - stiqued.php and the new snip.php, and make the necessary adjustments.
