+pastesrv
+========
+
+Please send patches or remarks to <jayvii[AT]posteo[DOT]de>
+
+Super simple selfhosted paste server inspired / copy-cat'ed from:
+https://www.codemadness.org/paste-service.html
+
+Setup
+-----
+
+Let's assume you are running Debian on your server, OpenSSH is already setup
+and you are using Apache as your webserver with "paste.example.com".
+
+Create a new user for the paste service on your server:
+
+	useradd -d /var/www/pastesrv -G www-data -m paste
+	mkdir -p /var/www/pastesrv/paste
+	chown paste:www-data -R /var/www/pastesrv
+	chmod 770 -R /var/www/pastesrv
+
+Optionally, set a password for the "paste" user. Or, better yet use an SSH-key.
+See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SSH_keys
+
+Copy the apache-config and edit it accordingly
+
+	cp pastesrv-apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/
+	# now edit it accordingly
+	a2ensite pastesrv-apache
+
+The service is ready now. Next, setup your client accordingly. The codemadness
+blog has a nifty bash-function (https://www.codemadness.org/paste-service.html),
+which I adapted a little bit. You can also find it in this repository as
+"pastesrv.sh":
+
+	pastesrv() {
+		# set default file name if none is given
+		HASH=$(date +%s | sha256sum | awk '{ print $1 }')
+		# forward stdin to the server
+		ssh paste[AT]paste[DOT]example.com "cat > ~/paste/${1:-$HASH}"
+		# output for user
+		echo "https://paste.example.com/${1:-$HASH}"
+	}
+
+The function reads from stdin, so whatever you pipe to it, will be send to the
+paste-service:
+
+	# sending the current date to the server as unnamed paste
+	date | pastesrv
+	
+	# sending some script file to the server as named paste
+	cat my_script.sh | pastesrv "check_out_my_script.sh"
+
+	# make a screenshot (wayland) and upload it immediately
+	grim - | pastesrv
