MicroBin
MicroBin is a super tiny, feature rich, configurable, self-contained and self-hosted paste bin web application. It is very easy to set up and use, and will only require a few megabytes of memory and disk storage. It takes only a couple minutes to set it up, why not give it a try now?
Note about this fork
I've forked MicroBin due to apparent neglect from the maintainer, and to fix various issues and annoyances to me personally.
TODOs:
- Proper database (seriously, json isn't a database)
- Configurable endpoints (so a url shortener isn't lengthened by /url/)
- Proper auth and permissions (so a single user can also use it and send links)
- Customizable keys (so you can make fixed pastas)
- Customizable wordset and length for the names
- Non-env/args configurations
Features
- Is very small
- Entirely self-contained executable, MicroBin is a single file!
- Animal names instead of random numbers for pasta identifiers (64 animals)
- File uploads (eg.
server.com/file/pig-dog-cat
) - Raw text serving (eg.
server.com/raw/pig-dog-cat
) - URL shortening and redirection
- QR code support
- Very simple database (JSON + files) for portability, easy backups and integration
- Listing and manually removing pastas (
/pastalist
) - Private and public, editable and final, automatically and never expiring pastas
- Syntax highlighting
- Automatic dark mode and custom styling support with very little CSS and only vanilla JS (see
water.css
) - Most of the above can be toggled on and off!
What is a "pasta" anyway?
In MicroBin, a pasta can be:
- A text that you want to paste from one machine to another, eg. some code,
- A file that you want to share, eg. a video that is too large for Discord, a zip with a code project in it or an image,
- A URL redirect.
When is MicroBin useful?
You can use MicroBin:
- As a URL shortener/redirect service,
- To send long texts to other people,
- To send large files to other people,
- To serve content on the web, eg. configuration files for testing, images, or any other file content using the Raw functionality,
- To move files between your desktop and a server you access from the console,
- As a "postbox" service where people can upload their files or texts, but they cannot see or remove what others sent you - just disable the pastalist page
- To take notes! Simply create an editable pasta.
...and many other things, why not get creative?
