## Usage
I host a public instance of paste at [paste.lucko.me](https://paste.lucko.me). Please feel free to use it to share code/configs/whatever!
However please note that the (very-non-legally worded) [terms of service](https://github.com/lucko/bytebin#public-instances) for my public bytebin instance apply here too. If you come across any content which is illegal or infringes on copyright, please [get in touch](https://lucko.me/contact) and let me know so I can remove it.

### Host your own

You can then follow the [create-react-app deployment documentation](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/deployment/) for how to host the build output. I personally recommend deploying to the cloud using a service like Netlify instead of hosting on your own webserver.
If you really want to self-host (including the bytebin data storage part), I suggest using Docker:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/lucko/paste
docker compose up -d
```
You should then (hopefully!) be able to access the application at `http://localhost:8080/`.
## API
paste uses [bytebin](https://github.com/lucko/bytebin) for data storage.
As a result, you can use the [bytebin API](https://github.com/lucko/bytebin#api-usage) to submit/read content programatically.
To set the language of a paste, use the `Content-Type` header with value `text/<language>` (e.g. `Content-Type: text/yaml` for a *.yml* file).
