 # extract and install the simple bad way (prefer to use rpmbuild instead)
 tar xf Python-3.* 

 cd Python-3.*
 
 ./configure
 
 make
 
 sudo make install
 

Install

 git clone https://github.com/petermaloney/localpaste
 cd  localpaste/

  useradd localpaste

Usage:

To run it:

sudo nohup ./localpaste.py -f --user localpaste &

To send input:

echo -n "hello" | curl -F 'clbin=<-' http://localhost/

To get pastes:

 curl http://localhost/XXXX

Create an alias replace localhost with your Hostname/External IP

echo "alias lpaste=\"curl -F 'clbin=<-' http://localhost/"\" >> ~/.bashrc

Using your alias:

cat <YOUR FILE>| lpaste

http://localhost/XXXX
```

*Creating and using a self-signed SSL Certificate*

```
openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.pem -out server.pem -days 365 -nodes
```

The private key and cert must reside in the same folder as localpaste.py and be combined together in one file named **server.pem**. If your file has another name, you'll have to use the **--certfile** option to specify it's location. (e.g. --certfile /etc/myserver.pem)

```
sudo nohup ./localpaste.py --scheme https -f --user localpaste &
```

#  ./localpaste.py  -h

```
 usage: localpaste.py [-h] [--foreground | --daemon] [--debug]
                    [--datadir DATADIR] [--name-min-size NAME_MIN_SIZE]
                    [--no-create-datadir] [--user USER] [--port PORT]
                    [--scheme {http,https}] [--hostname HOSTNAME]
                    [--certfile CERTFILE] [--listen-address LISTEN_ADDRESS]
