That's all

Building on linux

Checkout this repository

NOTE: you need to have libcurl-dev installed in your system

Usage

See stikkit --help for detailed help about options.

stikkit -b url
# now type text and hit ctrl+d to exit
cat file | stikkit -b url
echo "Hello world" | stikkit

url is an url to stikked server for example, if your server is http://something.blah/stikked and your api is http://something.blah/stikked/api then use http://something.blah/stikked as parameter to -b

The url parameter can be stored to configuration file (stikkit will ask you in case there is none in config file)

Configuration

The default configuration pulls the URL from /etc/stikkit/url - however, the better approach is to create your own config directory.

The stikkit software will look for .stikkit in your home directory. Within this directory, there are a few key files worth creating.

• url - Contains your base installation URL for stikked
• apikey - If your stikked installation requires an API key, save it in here
• expiry - The default expiry time (in minutes) for a paste, if needed
• author - The default author name if you wish to use one
• private - If you want to mark the paste as private (not visible in recent pastes), create this empty file

Tips

Do you have a server and want to setup default pastebin site for all users in system?

Create /etc/stikkit/url which contains the url of default pastebin site. Users will be able to override it, but by default everyone on system will use this

stikkit's Issues

expire option for forever

What is the expire otion -e for forever or default is it forever?

Consider changing the default timeout

I just discovered stikkit has a default timeout of 60 minutes if nothing else is given. This made me loose many pastes I probably still needed :(

This is also not mentioned in --help, but either way - I'd expect an unlimited paste if I don't say otherwise.

Support for API with key?

At the moment, I haven't seen anything so suggest this supports the API with a key. Am I mistaken, or if not, are there any plans for this? Thanks!
