Statistics Provided by the Adminstration Script

PrivateBin includes an administrative script which can collect statistics on the pastes. This will open and read all pastes' metadata on your installation, which can take some time and is I/O intensive. You can execute it from within the bin directory of your installation or from your running container image (where we add it to the PATH). Example output:

$ docker exec -t <your PrivateBin container name here> administration --statistics
