Initial Setup:
First install the dependencies:
apt update -y && apt upgrade -y
apt install curl socat git php8.2 php8.2-{fpm,xml,gd,mbstring,mysql,common} mariadb-server nginx -y
#for arch users:
pacman -S nginx php7-fpm
#systemctl enable --now php-fpm7 mysql
Enable nginx:
apt remove apache2 -y
apt purge apache2 -y
systemctl enable --now nginx mysql
wget https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/privatebin/privatebin.conf -O /etc/nginx/sites-available/privatebin.conf
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/privatebin.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/privatebin.conf
rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
#for arch users:
mariadb-install-db --user=root --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
systemctl enable --now mariadb
[ 127.0.0.1/8 ] [ /dev/pts/6 ] [/srv]
→ cat /etc/php7/php-fpm.d/www.conf | grep fpm.sock
listen = /run/php-fpm7/php-fpm.sock #put this path in the nginx config for arch servers
#and then make sure nginx can read that sock file:
Install acme.sh and get your free letsencrypt certificate:
wget -O - https://get.acme.sh | sh
source ~/.bashrc
systemctl stop nginx
acme.sh --issue --standalone -d ech4.duckdns.org -k 4096
nginx -t
Then edit the nginx config:
/etc/nginx/conf.d/privatebin.conf
Then install Privatebin:
cd /var/www/html/ && git clone https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin.git
chown -R www-data:www-data PrivateBin/

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE privatebin DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER 'privatebin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P@SSW0RD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON privatebin.* TO 'privatebin'@'localhost';
exit;
cd /var/www/html/PrivateBin/cfg
cp conf.sample.php conf.php
wget https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/privatebin/conf.php -O conf.php
nano conf.php
You can edit the config if you want, the important part being the following:
; [model]
; name of data model class to load and directory for storage
; the default model "Filesystem" stores everything in the filesystem
; class = Filesystem
; [model_options]
; dir = PATH "data"
[model]
class = Database
[model_options]
dsn = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=privatebin;charset=UTF8"
tbl = "privatebin_" ; table prefix
usr = "privatebin"
pwd = "P@SSW0RD"
opt[12] = true ; PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT
add timezones to both php.inis
cd /etc/php/8.2/
echo 'date.timezone = Europe/Paris' >> fpm/php.ini
echo 'date.timezone = Europe/Paris' >> cli/php.ini
Restart services
systemctl restart php8.2-fpm nginx
