# NAME
|
|
**feuille** - socket-based pastebin
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSYS
|
|
**feuille** [-abfhiopstuUvVw]
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
**feuille** is a fast, dead-simple socket-based pastebin that allows a
|
|
user to send text, logs or code to your server. It focuses on speed,
|
|
code quality, and security.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
**-a address**
|
|
: Sets the address that **feuille** will listen on.
|
|
: If set to `*`, **feuille** will listen on the IPv6 address `::` and
|
|
enable dual-stack mode, which makes **feuille** listen on both IPv4
|
|
and IPv6 addresses (won't work on OpenBSD).
|
|
: Default: `0.0.0.0`
|
|
|
|
**-b bytes**
|
|
: Sets the buffer size (in bytes) used to receive data from a client.
|
|
: A smaller buffer means more memory allocations and exchanges with
|
|
the connection, while a larger buffer induces less memory allocations
|
|
but more loss if not filled completely.
|
|
: The difference is minimal, no need to worry about it.
|
|
: Default: `131072`B (128KiB)
|
|
|
|
**-f**
|
|
: Makes **feuille** run in the forground.
|
|
: Default: disabled
|
|
|
|
**-h**
|
|
: Displays **feuille*'s help page.
|
|
|
|
**-i length**
|
|
: Sets the minimum ID length in characters.
|
|
: If a paste with the same ID exists, the length will be increased
|
|
(for that paste only).
|
|
: Default: `4` (Maximum: `254`)
|
|
|
|
**-p port**
|
|
: Sets the port that **feuille** will listen on.
|
|
: Default: `9999`
|
|
|
|
**-o path**
|
|
: Sets the path where **feuille** will output the pastes (and chroot,
|
|
if possible).
|
|
: Default: `/var/www/feuille`
|
|
|
|
**-s bytes**
|
|
: Sets the maximum size for every paste (in bytes).
|
|
: Default: `2097152`B (2MiB)
|
|
|
|
**-t seconds**
|
|
: Sets the timeout for the client to send the paste (in seconds).
|
|
: If set to zero, no timeout is set. (Not recommended.)
|
|
: Default: `4`s
|
|
|
|
**-u**
|
|
: Sets the user that will be used when dropping root privileges.
|
|
: **Warning**: requires root privileges.
|
|
: Default: `www`
|
|
|
|
**-U**
|
|
: Sets the base URL which will be prepended to the ID and sent to the
|
|
client.
|
|
: You do not need to put a slash at the end.
|
|
: Default: `http://localhost`
|
|
|
|
**-v**
|
|
: Adds 1 to the verbose level.
|
|
: Default: `0`
|
|
|
|
**-V**
|
|
: Displays **feuille**'s version and authors.
|
|
|
|
**-w**
|
|
: Sets the number of processes that will be spawned to handle the
|
|
connections.
|
|
: Those are *real* processes, not green / posix threads,
|
|
you might not want to set this to a huge number.
|
|
: Default: the number of threads configured on your machine.
|
|
|
|
# EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
**sudo feuille**
|
|
: Runs feuille in the background, chrooting into `/var/www/feuille`,
|
|
dropping root privileges and spawning worker processes to accept
|
|
incoming connections.
|
|
|
|
**feuille -p 1337**
|
|
: Runs feuille in the background *without* root privileges on port
|
|
`1337`.
|
|
: **feuille** won't be able to chroot or switch to another user, and
|
|
might not be able to write to the default output folder.
|
|
|
|
**feuille -P ./pastebins/**
|
|
: Same as before, but this time with a different path: `./pastebins/`.
|
|
: If the folder doesn't exist, it is created with the right
|
|
permissions.
|
|
|
|
**sudo feuille -U "https://bin.heimdall.pm"**
|
|
: Runs feuille and sets the base address to `https://bin.heimdall.pm`.
|
|
|
|
**sudo feuille -w 1**
|
|
: Runs feuille "single-threaded".
|
|
: (Actually, there's a main thread that does nothing and a thread
|
|
that does the actual work.)
|
|
|
|
**sudo feuille -fvP debug_pastes/**
|
|
: Runs feuille in the foreground, with verbose mode enabled, and
|
|
makes it output its pastes to the `debug_pastes/` folder.
|
|
: Useful for debugging purposes.
|
|
|
|
**sudo feuille -u nobody**
|
|
: Runs feuille using the user `nobody`, instead of user `www`.
|
|
|
|
**sudo feuille -s 8388608**
|
|
: Runs feuille with a maximum file size of 8388608 bytes (8MiB).
|
|
|
|
**sudo feuille -t 2**
|
|
: Runs feuille with a timeout of 2 seconds.
|
|
|
|
# LOGS
|
|
By default, **feuille** runs in the background. The logs should be
|
|
located at `/var/log/messages`, if using a standard syslog daemon.
|
|
**feuille** doesn't log much, be ready to use the verbose mode for
|
|
debugging purposes.
|
|
|
|

Apart from that, none at the moment, as far as I know.

# APPENDICES
|
|
Heavily inspired by [fiche](https://github.com/solusipse/fiche).
|
|
|
|
I entirely "rewrote" fiche from scratch because I wasn't happy with
|
|
some of its features and its overall code quality.
