MicroBin is a super tiny and simple self hosted pastebin app written in Rust. The executable is around 6MB and it uses 2MB memory (plus your pastas, because they are all stored in the memory at the moment).
### Features
- Is very small
- Automatic dark mode (follows system preferences)
- Animal names instead of random numbers for pasta identifiers (64 animals)
- Automatically expiring pastas
- Never expiring pastas
- Listing and manually removing pastas (/pastalist)
- Raw pasta content (/raw/[animals])
- URL shortening and redirection
- Very little CSS and absolutely no JS (see [water.css](https://github.com/kognise/water.css))
### Installation
Simply clone the repository, build it with `cargo build --release` and run the `microbin` executable in the created `target/release/` directory. It will start on port 8080.
Simply clone the repository, build it with `cargo build --release` and run the `microbin` executable in the created `target/release/` directory. It will start on port 8080. You can change the port with `-p` or `--port` CL arguments.
To install it as a service on your Linux machine, create a file called `/etc/systemd/system/microbin.service`, paste this into it with the value of `ExecStart` replaced with the actual path to microbin on your machine.
