Main README covers quick start, API overview, and links to example READMEs. Each example (paste, filemanager, can-sync, canfs) gets its own README with setup instructions, architecture, and configuration details. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paste
A minimal pastebin web app built on CAN Service. Type text and press Enter, or paste an image from your clipboard. Everything gets stored as a CAN asset.
Features
- Text paste -- type and hit Enter to store a text snippet
- Image paste -- Ctrl+V an image from your clipboard, or click the paperclip to attach a file
- Auto-tagging -- use
#hashtagsin your text and they're extracted as CAN tags - Live refresh -- new pastes appear instantly via Server-Sent Events (including content arriving from P2P sync on another machine)
Running
Make sure CAN Service is running on port 3210 first:
# From the repo root
cargo run
Then start Paste:
cd examples/paste
cargo run
Opens automatically at http://127.0.0.1:3211.
How It Works
Paste is a thin proxy layer. The Rust backend serves a single-page HTML/JS frontend and forwards requests to the CAN Service API:
| Paste Route | Proxies To | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
POST /paste/text |
POST /api/v1/can/0/ingest |
Store text as a .txt asset |
POST /paste/file |
POST /api/v1/can/0/ingest |
Store an uploaded file |
GET /paste/list |
GET /api/v1/can/0/list?application=paste |
List paste assets |
GET /paste/asset/{hash} |
GET /api/v1/can/0/asset/{hash} |
Download an asset |
GET /paste/thumb/{hash} |
GET /api/v1/can/0/asset/{hash}/thumb/200/200 |
Image thumbnail |
GET /paste/events |
GET /api/v1/can/0/events |
SSE stream for live updates |
All pastes are tagged with application=paste so they're scoped separately from other CAN content.
