Linkode

Linkode is the useful pastebin!

It's a kind of "short living collaboration space", a "dynamic pastebin".

It's live right now in http://linkode.org/, give it a try!

Some awesome detailes:

- you can create linkodes anywhere, whenever, and effortesly.
- editable texts, not static!
- every new edition creates a child: you have a tree
- code/text type autodetection (and coloring!)
- permantent linkodes (but still the owner can remove them)
- absolutely anonymous (unless you login, which is dead simple)
- private URLs: because you can not guess UUIDs

In a future this will be in a Doc file (source of that HTML).

How To Try It In Development

$ virtualenv linkode
$ cd linkode
$ git clone https://github.com/facundobatista/linkode.git
$ source bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./test
$ ./run

How To Deploy With Apache

Documentation based in http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/deploying/mod_wsgi/

We use a virtualenv to deploy the project and apache virtual host on Ubuntu 13.04, This configuration es very general, I guess that works in almost all linux OS

Definitions:

Project path: /var/linkode_home/
Application path: /var/linkode_home/linkode_app
VirtualEnv Path: /var/linkode_home/linkode_virtualenv
User: www-data

Create virtualenv and install the requirements:

$ cd /var/linkode_home
$ virtualenv linkode_virtualenv
$ cd linkode_virtualenv
$ source bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Clone repository:

$ cd /var/linkode_home/
$ git clone https://github.com/facundobatista/linkode.git linkode_app
$ cd linkode_app

The WSGI configuration file is already in the project, ready to use; for develop or debuging you can add to it:

application.debug = True

# Needs install paste via pip "pip install paste"
# For More information:
# http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/DebuggingTechniques#Browser_Based_Debugger
from paste.evalexception.middleware import EvalException
application = EvalException(application)

Create a virtual host configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ with the name that you want, in this example "linkode"

# vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/linkode

And paste this:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName linkode.mydomain

    WSGIDaemonProcess linkode user=www-data group=www-data threads=5
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/linkode_home/linkode.wsgi
    WSGIScriptReloading On

    <Directory /var/linkode_home/linkode_app/linkode/>
        WSGIProcessGroup linkode
        WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    AddDefaultCharset utf-8
    ServerSignature On
    LogLevel info
    
    ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/linkode-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/linkode-access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache and Enjoy!
