Install

As requeriments you need nodejs and npm.

npm install -g apaste

In Debian GNU/Linux 8 (Jessie) the npm version is too old to work with. You will need to upgrade npm manually.

# install requeriments
apt-get nodejs nodejs-legacy npm
# npm install -g npm            # install npm 3.3.x, uncomment for jessie
# hash -r                       # rescan $PATH, uncomment for jessie
# finally install apaste
sudo npm install -g apaste

apaste, the share.riseup.net command-line client

This is a modification of upclient, the Up1 command-line client to make it work with https://share.riseup.net. As there is currently no way to customize it using config files, we had to make this for now.

Please help and contribute directly to the Up1 command-line client

Usage: apaste [options] [files]

Upload files and text to an Up1 based pastebin. If no argument is specified, stdin is assumed.

Options:
  -b, --binary        force application/octet-stream (for downloadable file)
  -t, --text          force text/plain (for pastebin)
  -f, --file <name>   force file name for stdin based inputs
  -m, --mime <mime>   force given mime type (default: detect)
      --version       display version information and exit
      --help          display this help and exit

Usage examples

Paste command output to Up1:

ps aux | apaste

Copy an image file to Up1:

apaste image.png

Take a screenshot (using a selection rectangle), send it to Up1, and put the result link on the clipboard:

import png:- | apaste | xsel -b

Do the same as above, but also notify when complete:

import png:- | apaste | tee >(xsel -b) >(xargs notify-send "Upload Complete")
