Elisp Pastebin

This is a demo of an Emacs pastebin server using simple-httpd servlets. Supports language syntax highlighting, expiration, diffs, and 2.5 different backend databases.

Quick Start

To try it out right away as a standalone server, without any extra setup, run this from the repository:

emacs -nw -Q -L . -l pastebin-standalone.el

This will automatically fetch and load the dependencies, start the server on port 8000, and attempt to point your default browser at it. Requires Emacs version >= 24.

Manual Start

Add your Git repository clone to your load-path, start the web-server in Emacs (httpd-start), load pastebin.el, and visit http://localhost:8080/pastebin/.
