Paste My Taste 🎶

Is a replacement for the now defunct Paste My Taste site. I build this replacement to play around with VueJS. Additionally to providing the same features as the old site this one also includes the links to the artists on Last.FM in a Reddit-compatible post format. Feature requests are welcome! 👨🏻‍💻

It's currently available here: pastemytaste.site

Up until December 2022 it was available on pastemytaste[.]com but unfortunately due to an accident the domain expired.

If you need a demo username try mine: tehwey

Configuration and Operation

Environment

The following environment variables are available, they all have sensible defaults and don't need to be set explicity, except the API token.

• API_KEY: The Last.FM API key
• ENVIRONMENT: Environment can be prod or develop. develop sets the loglevel to info (Default: develop)
• PORT: Port that PMT is running on (Default: 8080)

There are two available storage backends right now. An in-memory and a disk backed implementation. Depending on which one you choose there are additional options you can set.

• STORAGE_BACKEND: Set to memory to keep everything in-memory or persistent to persist the cache to disk. (Default: memory)

In Memory

• CACHE_EXPIRATION: The expiration time of the cache in minutes (Default: 30)
• CACHE_EXPIRED_PURGE: The interval at which the expired cache elements will be purged in minutes (Default: 60)

Persistent

• STORAGE_PATH: Set the storage location of the cache on disk. (Default: ./pmt-data)

Running in development

In the root directory of the project:

npm --prefix web/ run build && PORT=9999 API_KEY=changeme go run pmt.go

Run with Docker

You can change all these options in the included docker-compose files and use docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d to run the project.
