Supported languages:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Sass
  • Less
  • JavaScript
  • CoffeeScript

Rocketbin is powered by Flask, MongoDB, Sass, jQuery, & Ace.

Installation

Prerequisites:

# First you need to clone the project
$ git clone https://github.com/thinkxl/rocketbin.git
$ cd rocketbin
# Create a virtual enviroment
$ virtualenv venv
# Activate the enviroment
$ . venv/bin/activate
# Install all dependencies with pip
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
# Rename `config.example.py` to `config.py`
$ mv config.example.py config.py
# Edit settings inside `config.py` file with your favorite editor
$ nano config.py

After nano config.py you will see something like this:

import os

DEBUG=True
SECRET_KEY=os.getenv('SECRET_KEY', '<your secret key here>')
SALT=os.getenv('SALT', '<your salt here>')

MONGODB_HOSTNAME = os.getenv('MONGODB_HOST', 'localhost')
MONGODB_NAME = os.getenv('MONGODB_DATABASE', '<your database name here>')
MONGODB_PORT = int(os.getenv('MONGODB_PORT', 27017))
MONGODB_USERNAME = os.getenv('MONGODB_USERNAME', '<your MongoDB username here>')
MONGODB_PASSWORD = os.getenv('MONGODB_PASSWORD', '<your MongoDB password here>')

del os

And then you will have to enter your own settings like this example:

import os

DEBUG=True
SECRET_KEY=os.getenv('SECRET_KEY', 'development-key')
SALT=os.getenv('SALT', 'development-salt')

MONGODB_HOSTNAME = os.getenv('MONGODB_HOST', 'localhost')
MONGODB_NAME = os.getenv('MONGODB_DATABASE', 'rocketbin-test')
MONGODB_PORT = int(os.getenv('MONGODB_PORT', 27017))

# If you didn't specify username and password when starting the MongoDB server, then just leave these blank.
MONGODB_USERNAME = os.getenv('MONGODB_USERNAME', '')
MONGODB_PASSWORD = os.getenv('MONGODB_PASSWORD', '')

del os

NOTE: In most cases when you are running the app in your computer (localhost) you won’t need to enter MONGODB_USERNAME and MONGODB_PASSWORD so leaving them blank is ok.

# After editing the `config.py` file run the server
$ python run.py
# Open the browser at http://127.0.0.1:4000

FAQ

Why another Pastebin clone?

I just wanted to know how to make one, my goal is to learn Python and Flask, so I thought it was a good exercise.

Why MongoDB and not SQLite?

Because I’m learning MongoDB.
