Pastebin

Simple Rust Pastebin example as explained in the Rocket Guide.

Rocket Configuration

Copy Rocket Example.toml over to Rocket.toml and generate a secret key and TLS certificates.

cp 'Rocket Example.toml' 'Rocket.toml'

Secret Key

Generate a secret key for Rocket.toml.

openssl rand -base64 32

TLS

Generate a self-signed certificate for development.

mkdir certs/ &&
yes "" | openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -out certs/certs.pem -keyout certs/key.pem

Or remove the TLS feature from Rocket in Cargo.toml, if you don’t want HTTPS.

Usage

Assuming you have the server setup at localhost:8000 and are using self-signed certificates.
