PrivateBin

{% include 'try-in-elfhosted.md' %}

PrivateBin is a minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server (can) has zero knowledge of pasted data. We all need to paste data / log files somewhere when it doesn't make sense to paste it inline. With PrivateBin, you can own the hosting, access, and eventual deletion of this data.

Preparation

Setup data locations

We'll need a single location to bind-mount into our container, so create /var/data/privatebin, and make it world-writable (there might be a more secure way to do this!)

mkdir /var/data/privatebin
chmod 777 /var/data/privatebin/

{{ page.meta.recipe }} Docker Swarm config

Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like the example below:

--8<-- "premix-cta.md"

version: '3'

services:
  app:
    image: privatebin/nginx-fpm-alpine
    volumes:
      - /var/data/privatebin:/srv/data
    networks:
      - traefik_public
    deploy:
      labels:
        # traefik common
        - traefik.enable=true
        - traefik.docker.network=traefik_public

        # traefikv1
        - traefik.frontend.rule=Host:privatebin.example.com
        - traefik.port=4180     

        # traefikv2
        - "traefik.http.routers.privatebin.rule=Host(`privatebin.example.com`)"
        - "traefik.http.services.privatebin.loadbalancer.server.port=4180"
        - "traefik.enable=true"

networks:
  traefik_public:
    external: true
