PyFiche

PyFiche is a simple pastebin optimized for the command line, written in Python and heavily inspired by fiche, or rather a shameless translation. It has no dependencies outside the Python standard library.

It also comes with a re-implementation of Lines, the HTTP server that comes with Fiche, which this time around also allows you to upload files using POST requests. Additionally, PyFiche also comes with a simple TCP server, Recup, to download pastes through netcat without using HTTP(S), in the same way you upload them.

Installation

Dependencies

• Python 3 (tested with 3.11)

Local Installation

$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -U git+https://kumig.it/PrivateCoffee/pyfiche.git

Usage

Fiche Server

$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pyfiche-server # try --help for options

With the exception of the -u option, all arguments of the original Fiche should work as expected. -u is not implemented because, well, just use the right user in the first place. 🤷‍♀️

Uploading files

$ nc <server> <port> < <file>

Recup Server

$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pyfiche-recup # try --help for options

Downloading files

Pipe the ID of an uploaded file to nc:

$ echo <id> | nc <server> <port> > <file>

Lines Server

$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pyfiche-lines # try --help for options

Viewing pastes in a browser

Go to http://<server>:<port>/<id>.

Downloading raw pastes

$ curl http://<server>:<port>/<id>/raw

Uploading pastes

$ curl -X POST -d '<paste content>' http://<server>:<port>

Or use a file:
