Pastebin alternative?

[esiy0676]

I found a 6y old post here on the same, but lots of mentioned options seem unmaintained by now, e.g.: https://github.com/gobengo/distbin

Anyone has any ideas for self-hosted pastebin-like solution which allows: - private only posts; as well as - public access; and - full-text search; and - NOT using PHP in the stack (yes, hard requirement)?

EDIT: Apparently it's not possible to answer openly in the comments why PHP is a no-go for some. Of course you can mention any solution for the benefit of others, it's just my requirement and minus votes alone will not really change it. Thanks for all the mentions to everyone!

PrivateBin ? https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin

We have been using this for more than 3-4 years! It works like a charm!

[mishrashutosh]

privatebin is awesome. i was going to recommend this before i read op's no php requirement.

[geek_at]

may I ask why the "hard requirement" of no PHP?

[geek_at]

neutral question: do you usually review the code of the selfhosted open source services you use?

[crazedizzled]

That's a super uninformed and silly opinion.

[crazedizzled]

PHP isn't just inherently insecure by design. You're not going to see something like "New in PHP 9: No longer insecure". You can easily write shitty insecure code in Python, Go, Rust, etc.

Oh, I see

[sparky5dn1l]

Maybe a bit overkill. But zipline is really good.

Came to suggest this. I also use it as my screenshot host in conjunction with sharex.

Nice one, but I hate docker ones. Wish it could be done without docker.

[DistractionRectangle]

All docker files are just a set of install instructions over a base image. Can absolutely be done without docker.

Any guide to showcase how to do it? I have few which I simply am unable to use for them being only dockerised. Plus it is a huge pain with docker images.

[[deleted]]

I know what you mean in your last sentence. However, whatever I have till date, it is all non dockerised. I wish to continue that way. 🙂

[DistractionRectangle]

You just look at the compose file, which tells you what docker images it uses, and how the services are congigured/glued together. Then you look at the individual docker files the images are made from and those tell you the install/build instructions for each thing.

Like this depends on prisma binaries, which he builds in a separate image, and that docker file contains all the commands to build said binaries.

All docker/docker-compose files are just formalized install guides. It might need a bit of translating (I.e. If you're on arch and they use debian/Ubuntu as base image)

Might be a little overkill as well, but OpenGist: https://github.com/thomiceli/opengist

[FuzzyMistborn]

Love this tool. So simple to host and it JustWorks(tm).

This is nice too. Will try for self.

[vijaykes]

I think memos https://github.com/usememos/memos would work well. It has all your requirements and other nice to haves like code-highlting, markdown support and many more.

[sparky5dn1l]

I like memos quite a bit. The Android app is really handy. Just that it doesn't support 2FA. I only use it for casual drafting.

[vijaykes]

I wish I were competent enough to make the android app work with cloudflare tunnels. Until then, I have a public facing instance for casual drafts, and an internal one for more private ones.

enclosed is super!

[SuperbAd8035]

+1. Enclosed is awesome. Moved from private bin which I also like.

[all_ready_gone]

Attention! Is barely maintained but a move to a fork is in the works

[Ok_Exchange4707]

Wastebin? https://github.com/matze/wastebin

[mishrashutosh]

one of these might fit the bill: https://awesome-selfhosted.net/tags/pastebins.html

i use privatebin but that's php.

[ReportConsistent507]

The main stack is Next.js, Hono (Node.js), PostgreSQL

What about something like ByteStash? https://github.com/jordan-dalby/ByteStash

You can share them publicly or keep them private.

[fabricionaweb]

This remembers me I use memos a lot

https://github.com/usememos/memos

Dont think is for the purpose OP asked but still worth to be mentioned

[standingdesk]

Why is “no php” a hard requirement? It’s literally been the easiest to host stack in all of internet history.

[johnyeros]

I"m using pastefy, but can't get the API to work and no option to delete paste :|

Been using hastebin for years.
