| 6 Pastebins are used very often in IM, especially in chat rooms. You have a long log or command output which you need to send to someone over IM, and don't want to fill their message window with it. Put it on a pastebin site, and give them the URL instead, simple. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 Not for everyone... no matter how hard you try, people will be unaware, or not care. They may also be too lazy to visit a pastebin. This is where mod_pastebin comes in! | |

12 When someone posts to a room a "large" (the actual limit is configurable) message, Prosody will intercept the message and convert it to a URL pointing to a built-in pastebin server. The URLs are randomly generated, so they can be considered for most purposes to be private, and cannot be discovered by people who are not in the room. |

16 To set up mod_pastebin for MUC rooms it *must* be explicitly loaded, as in the example below - it won't work when loaded globally, as that will only load it onto normal virtual hosts. |
| 8 | 17 |
| 18 For example: | |
| 19 {{{ | |
| 20 Component "conference.example.com" "muc" | |
| 21 modules_enabled = { "pastebin" } | |
| 22 }}} | |

24 Pastes will be available by default at `http://<your-prosody>:5280/pastebin/` by default. This can be changed with `pastebin_ports` (see below), or you can forward another external URL from your web server to Prosody, use `pastebin_url` to set that URL. |
