You can use a tool like pm2 to manage running the website. Or, you can host your own instance of this project on Vercel/Heroku.

Self-hosted API

The API that is the backbone of this project is accessible by the developers.

Supported endpoints:

Endpoint: /api/files

Method: GET

Function: This endpoint will return the slugs (id) of all the available atombin documents

Endpoint: /api/files

Method: POST

Function: This endpoint will allow you to create new documents to atombin

Body:

• content - The actual content of the code

Endpoint: /api/files/{id}

Method: GET

Function: Get the content of any existing post using its id

Please note that these endpoints were not made with developer experience in mind. So, it isn't optimized for the best and easiest developer experience as this is something I hacked together in like an hour as a challenge.
