Paste
#####
Paste servers are an easy way to share long-form content such as
configuration files or log data with others over short-form
communication protocols such as IRC. OpenStack runs the "lodgeit"
paste software.

Overview
========
For OpenStack we use `a fork
<https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/lodgeit>`_ of lodgeit which is
based on one with bugfixes maintained by `dcolish
<https://bitbucket.org/dcolish/lodgeit-main>`_ but adds back missing
anti-spam features required by OpenStack.
Puppet configures lodgeit to use drizzle as a database backend, apache
as a front-end proxy.
The lodgeit module will automatically create a git repository in
``/var/backups/lodgeit_db``. Inside this every site will have its own
SQL file, for example "openstack" will have a file called
``openstack.sql``. Every day a cron job will update the SQL file (one
job per file) and commit it to the git repository.
.. note::
Ideally the SQL files would have a row on every line to keep the
diffs stored in git small, but ``drizzledump`` does not yet support
this.
