pb is a lightweight pastebin and url shortener built using
flask <http://flask.pocoo.org/>_.
There is currently no known general-purpose public pb deployment. See #246 <https://github.com/ptpb/pb/issues/246>_ for details.
pb comes with a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml to start development
environments easily. Refer to relevant documentation for how to install docker
and docker-compose.
start pb with::
docker-compose up
pb will be listening on http://localhost:10002
ptpb.pw (the reference deployment) uses ptpb-deploy <https://github.com/ptpb/ptpb-deploy>_, which includes TLS termination,
automatic x509 certificate rotation, and response caching.
For a simpler deployment, the included Dockerfile and
docker-compose.yaml can be used verbatim, and are easy to read/study.
Other best practices include:
not using a shared/system python, when this is shared with packages other than pb
using site-packages is fine/preferred inside a container or isolated
filesystem, otherwise use venv <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>_
if you need/want a version of python other than what your distribution
packages, pyenv <https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv>_ is a good option
not using debian or centos
