Zipline (ShareX/file Upload Server)

Node.js and PostegreSQL

If you need help installing Node and psql then you can go read the tutorial on Umami. I also like creating another user for node, with lesser permissions for better security otherwise I use the root user for systems administration because I’d rather slit my wrists again than having to type my password and use sudo all the fucking time.

• Creating an user for node
• Installing psql and node

Preparing the database

1su -c "psql" - postgres
2
3CREATE ROLE zipline WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'zipline';
4CREATE DATABASE zipline WITH OWNER zipline;

Who the fuck cares about the password, we’re hosting this locally anyway.

Now exit from this shell with ^C.

Install Yarn

1npm install -g yarn

Install PM2 globally to daemonize node

1npm install -g pm2

Get the source code and install dependencies

1cd /var/www/
2git clone https://github.com/diced/zipline
3sudo chown node:node -R /var/www/zipline
4cd zipline
5su node
6yarn install

Editing the .env

1cp .env.local.example .env.local
2vim .env.local

You will have to edit a minimum of settings before building:

1CORE_SECRET="very random string here use KeePassXC or something"
2
3CORE_DATABASE_URL="postgres://zipline:zipline@localhost/zipline"
4CORE_PORT=3000

Now build the thing

1yarn build
2yarn start

Start the application with PM2

1pm2 start yarn --name zipline -- start
2pm2 save
3pm2 startup

The default username/password are administrator:password.

Reverse proxy

More boiler plate that I don’t want to rewrite!!!

I don’t want to write the same fucking shit again, you can go follow the tutorial for Umami it’s the same thing.
