this is a complete rewrite, with more functionality and a better ui.
if you want to see the source code of v2 go to codemyst/pastemyst.
this is a guide on how to set the project up, build it and get it running.
the api is written in c# with asp.net core, so you need the dotnet sdk (and the asp.net targeting pack). check the dotnet download page for a guide on how to install it.
you also need a mongodb database.
set the db connection string as a dotnet secret:
dotnet user-secrets set ConnectionStrings:DefaultDb "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017"
now you can build and run the api with:
dotnet run
to test that everything is fine, you can open https://localhost:5000/swagger or get /ping.
to enable auth (login), you need to set secrets for github and gitlab oauth applications, you also need to add the secret used for jwt keys.
dotnet user-secrets set GitHub:ClientId "..."
dotnet user-secrets set GitHub:ClientSecret "..."
dotnet user-secrets set GitLab:ClientId "..."
dotnet user-secrets set GitLab:ClientSecret "..."
dotnet user-secrets set JwtSecret "..."
to enable language autodetection, you need to install the guesslang-bun executable. if you're using docker you don't need to do this.
the client is written with sveltekit, so install node and npm (or yarn).
install all dependencies:
npm i
copy the .env.example file to .env in the /client directory and change the variables.
run the client with:
npm run dev
you can also run the entire project (db, api and client) using docker.
copy the .env.example file to .env and change the variables.
finally run docker-compose up.
