PrivateBin shares text and files with true zero-knowledge encryption: the server stores only ciphertext it cannot decrypt because the key exists exclusively in the URL fragment that never reaches the server. With over 8,400 GitHub stars and 500,000+ Docker pulls, it has become the standard for privacy-respecting paste sharing where not even the hosting operator can read stored content. All encryption uses 256-bit AES in Galois Counter mode performed entirely client-side in the browser. Burn-after-reading mode destroys pastes on first view, while configurable expiration timers automatically purge content after periods ranging from five minutes to forever. Optional password protection adds a second encryption layer requiring recipients to enter a passphrase before decryption occurs. Discussion threads enable anonymous or nickname-based commenting on pastes with IP-based identicon avatars for visual identity. Markdown rendering with live preview formats pastes as styled HTML, and syntax highlighting through prettify.js supports dozens of programming languages across four color themes. File upload support enables sharing images, PDFs, and media files with in-browser preview. QR code generation converts paste URLs for mobile device transfer. Customizable templates include Bootstrap 5, classic Bootstrap CSS, and Darkstrap themes. Storage backends support filesystem, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Amazon S3, and Google Cloud Storage. Deploy via Docker with the privatebin/nginx-fpm-alpine image on port 8080.

Every code snippet in Opengist lives inside a real Git repository that you can initialize, clone, pull, and push over HTTP or SSH while browsing syntax-highlighted files, revision diffs, and Markdown documents through a self-hosted web interface that replaces GitHub Gist. Create public, unlisted, or private multi-file gists directly from your browser, terminal Git client, or the OpenAPI-documented REST API v1 using personal access tokens. Rich rendering displays source code across hundreds of languages alongside Markdown documents with Mermaid diagrams, LaTeX math, CSV tables, images, and downloadable ZIP archives. Full-text code and metadata search powered by Bleve or Meilisearch lets teams locate snippets by content, filename, extension, language, user, or topic tags in milliseconds. Users can star, fork, archive, and embed snippets into external websites via JavaScript widgets or fetch raw files and structured JSON payloads. Enterprise authentication supports GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, OpenID Connect, and LDAP directories, reinforced by TOTP two-factor authentication and WebAuthn passkeys, while administrators control anonymous access and monitor Prometheus metrics. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Pastefy gives developers a self-hosted pastebin and GitHub Gist workspace where multi-file code snippets, Mermaid architecture diagrams, and terminal recordings can be shared in a single click or cURL command. Its multi-tab editor highlights syntax across more than 200 programming languages so you can bundle scripts, configuration files, and documentation inside one URL. Markdown notes render cleanly. SVG graphics, CSV tables, GeoJSON maps, unified diffs, calendar events, regex testers, and Asciinema `.cast` terminal sessions all preview interactively in the browser. Sensitive snippets stay locked behind client-side AES password encryption, automatic expiration timers, and public, unlisted, or private visibility controls. Authenticated users organize pastes into nested folders, fork community snippets, generate QR codes or styled code screenshots, and embed interactive viewers into external docs. Command-line users pipe output directly via `curl -F [email protected]`, manage pastes from VS Code or Raycast extensions, and automate workflows through the REST API v2 with official JavaScript, Java, and Go SDKs. Single sign-on supports GitHub, Google, Discord, Twitch, and custom OpenID Connect providers.

Paste some text, hit save, share the link - Hasty Paste is a fast, minimal pastebin written in Python on the async Quart framework, named, by its author's own admission, "because you use it so fast without a care in the world." No accounts, no authentication, no friction - built for the everyday case of handing a debug log, config snippet, or stack trace to someone in tech support or a chat channel. Pastes get randomly generated IDs, with an optional "long" ID mode that makes brute-force URL guessing impractical, and expiry times ensure throwaway content actually gets thrown away. Optional Pygments syntax highlighting makes code readable, a dark theme spares your eyes, and the whole interface works without JavaScript - it renders in terminal browsers and under the strictest script blockers. Storage is a custom flat-file system (no database), caching runs internally or through Redis for busier instances, and a REST API plus the companion "Hastily Paste It" CLI script enable piping command output straight into a paste from the terminal. The Alpine-based Docker image is tiny, resource usage is minimal, and the license is AGPL.

Share code snippets, logs, configs, and notes without registration, tracking, or ads: Lenpaste is a minimal, self-hosted, anonymous alternative to pastebin.com. It is deliberately spartan in the right ways: no accounts, no JavaScript required (the entire site works in text browsers and hardened setups), and cookies used solely to store display preferences. Pastes support syntax highlighting across a long list of languages (from ApacheConf and Arduino to mainstream stacks), configurable expiration from minutes to unlimited, one-use "burn after reading" pastes that self-delete on first view, optional author attribution, and iframe embedding for dropping pastes into other pages. The form-encoded HTTP API covers everything the UI does - create pastes with title, syntax, expiration, and line-ending normalization, fetch them by ID, and query server capabilities - making it trivial to pipe command output to your paste server from shell scripts. Server operators control maximum title and body lengths, maximum paste lifetime, rate limits for viewing and creation, search-engine indexing policy, and can lock private instances behind HTTP Basic authentication. It deploys as a single lightweight Docker container, giving your team a snippet-sharing endpoint where the content never touches a third-party service.

A video too large for Discord, a secret that should not live in a chat log, or a config file a headless server needs to fetch: MicroBin turns each into a short link with an animal name, served from your own machine. Paste text or code and it comes back with syntax highlighting, inline image and video embedding, and a QR code for moving it to a phone. Attach one file or several, then decide exactly who can see them: uploads can be public or private, editable or locked, set to expire on a schedule or to never expire. For sensitive material, server-side encryption and client-side end-to-end encryption keep contents unreadable without the password. Raw serving hands the plain bytes to curl, a browser, or another program, which makes the same box a tiny file endpoint for scripts and test rigs. A postbox mode lets people send you files and texts they cannot browse or delete afterwards, and a read-only mode with an uploader password turns the instance into a drop point with exactly one trusted sender. The admin console lists uploads and storage, and everything runs as one small binary backed by SQLite or a JSON file, comfortable in a few megabytes of memory.

Paaster is the pastebin for snippets too sensitive for a public paste site: every paste is encrypted in your browser before upload, so the server only ever stores ciphertext it cannot read. Paste code or logs and the text is sealed with libsodium the moment you stop typing, with the secret riding in the link fragment that browsers never send to a server. Share the link and only its holder can open the paste; share it as a QR code, or beam it to your other device with a five-minute code using Send to device. Set a paste to delete after its first view or after a chosen time, protect it with an access code, and let automatic language detection syntax-highlight the result. Your own pastes stay browsable in a local history, themes and keyboard shortcuts keep the editor fast, and drag-and-drop file sharing works the same encrypted way. Upload from the terminal with the companion CLI or the REST API, and store everything in MongoDB with MinIO, S3, or Cloudflare R2 holding the encrypted blobs.

The file is on your laptop, the laptop is downstairs, and cloud drives are still syncing yesterday; Local Content Share ends that dance by giving every device on your network one shared page on port 8080. Type or paste a snippet and it appears instantly on your phone, tablet, and work machine, because Server-Sent Events push every upload, edit, and deletion to all open browsers without a refresh. Files ride along three ways: pick them, drag several at once onto the text area, or paste straight from the clipboard, screenshots included. A separate notepad holds Markdown with edit and preview modes, auto-saving as you type so a thought started on the couch continues at the desk. Links get their own newest-first section, everything can be renamed or edited in place, and each item carries an expiration clock you can set to an hour, a day, or a custom span like 34m or 2w, after which it quietly deletes itself. The interface follows your system light or dark theme, installs as a phone PWA, and needs no accounts and no internet, which is also the honest catch: there is no login, so keep it on trusted networks or behind an authenticated proxy.

The functions, config files, and one-liners you keep re-deriving finally get a searchable home: ByteStash is a self-hosted code snippet manager - a private Gist. Each snippet holds multiple code fragments, so a Docker Compose file, its .env template, and a plaintext usage note live together under one titled, categorized entry. Monaco-based syntax highlighting covers dozens of languages, from Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust to YAML, Dockerfiles, Terraform, and Markdown. Retrieval is the point: filter by language or category, search titles and descriptions, and optionally include snippet contents in full-text search. Snippets can be pinned for quick access and shared via public links that recipients open without an account. Multi-user support runs on JWT authentication with optional OIDC single sign-on for teams on centralized identity, and a full CRUD REST API with Swagger documentation wires snippet retrieval into editors, scripts, and CI pipelines. Storage is a single SQLite database with optional encryption, and collections export as JSON or Markdown. A React frontend on a Node.js backend, deployed as one lightweight container.

Credentials sitting forever in email threads and chat scrollback - Password Pusher solves that everyday security failure. Instead of pasting a password into Slack, you push it - a password, note, file, URL, or QR code - and share a unique one-time link that expires after a set number of views, a time limit, or both. Content is encrypted at rest with AES-GCM under a configurable master key, optionally guarded by a passphrase, and permanently deleted from the database the moment it expires; a retrieval-step option keeps URL-scanning bots from consuming views. Full audit logs record when each link was created and viewed (and by whom, with logins), and TOTP two-factor authentication can be required instance-wide. The delivery page is deliberately unbranded - no logos or confusing links for recipients - and the interface ships in 31 languages with light and dark themes. Automation runs through a JSON API (v2), an official CLI for pushing and expiring secrets from the terminal, a Chrome extension, and a catalog of third-party integrations. Apache-2.0 licensed Ruby on Rails, deployable via Docker, Kubernetes, or Helm, with SQLite or PostgreSQL storage - the sysadmin staple for sending credentials that clean up after themselves.

With nearly 3,000 GitHub stars and active development since 2014 through version 14.2.0, Yopass eliminates the universal bad habit of sharing passwords and API keys through Slack messages, email threads, and ticket systems by encrypting secrets entirely in the browser using OpenPGP before anything reaches the server. The Go backend stores only ciphertext — it never sees plaintext — while the React frontend handles all encryption and decryption client-side, generating one-time URLs that self-destruct after a single viewing or when the configured expiration of one hour, one day, or one week passes. File upload support streams encrypted files with configurable size limits, and optional custom password protection adds a second encryption layer beyond the URL-embedded key. The server supports Redis or Memcached as storage backends with automatic key expiration, deploying via Docker Compose in under five minutes or as Kubernetes manifests for production environments. Built-in TLS support works alongside reverse proxy configurations for Nginx, Caddy, and Traefik with automatic Let's Encrypt certificate provisioning. Prometheus metrics expose HTTP request counts, latency histograms, and secret lifecycle counters for Grafana dashboard integration and alerting. Read-only mode enables split-instance deployments separating secret creation from retrieval across different network zones. Multi-language support localizes the interface for international teams. The open-source core under Apache 2.0 provides full self-hosted functionality with no account management required.

Private text, encrypted before it leaves the browser: Enclosed turns passwords, keys, and other secrets into a link that only its holder can open, with no third-party service in between. Can the server read the note? No. It stores only ciphertext and settings, because the decryption key rides in the part of the link after the # sign, which browsers never send. Want a second lock? Add a password, or generate a random one with a click, and share it by another route. Worried about links lingering in chat history? Pick one hour, one day, one week, or one month, and tick Delete after reading so the first view removes the note, with a warning shown to the recipient beforehand. Need more than text? Attach files by button or drag and drop, and recipients download them one by one or all at once. Sending to a phone? Every finished note offers a QR code, downloadable as SVG or PNG. Setting it up for a team? Restrict note creation to signed-in users, create notes from the command line, and let people read the interface in 17 languages with light, dark, or system themes.

Real-time collaborative Markdown behind your own firewall: HedgeDoc (formerly CodiMD, descended from HackMD's open-source edition) keeps team notes on team infrastructure. Share a note's URL and collaborators are editing together instantly - live cursors, changes appearing keystroke by keystroke - in a three-mode interface that toggles between raw Markdown, rendered preview, and side-by-side split. The Markdown dialect is extended where engineers need it: Mermaid, Graphviz, and Vega-Lite diagrams, MathJax for equations, syntax-highlighted code blocks, embedded content, and a presentation mode that turns a note into reveal.js slides with a single YAML header. A dropdown permission system controls each note - freely editable, limited to signed-in users, or locked read-only - and published notes become clean read-only pages for wider distribution. Revisions track every change with the ability to revert to any earlier version. The AGPL-3.0 codebase is light enough to run on a Raspberry Pi and deploys via Docker with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite. Authentication covers LDAP, SAML, OAuth2, and email. It deliberately stays a focused document editor - no page trees or kanban - and does that one job with excellent keyboard-first ergonomics for meeting notes, RFCs, runbooks, and shared scratchpads.

Your team's knowledge already lives in a folder of Markdown files, and CollabMD turns that exact folder into a shared workspace everyone can edit together in the browser, with nothing to migrate and no database swallowing your notes. Point it at an Obsidian vault, a plain docs directory, or a git-backed repository and the filesystem stays the source of truth: files are never moved, renamed, or deleted unless someone does it deliberately in the app. Several people can type in the same document at once with live cursors and presence indicators, follow a collaborator's view while they present, and drop comments anchored to a specific line or text selection instead of scattering feedback across chat threads. Edits made outside the browser, in Obsidian or any text editor, sync back into open documents automatically, so local and remote work never fork. Diagrams are first-class citizens: Mermaid, PlantUML, Structurizr C4 models, Excalidraw canvases, and draw.io files all open and render beside your prose, and a git panel lets you review changes and commit with a message without leaving the tab. Global full-text search, wiki-links with backlinks, team chat, file uploads, and optional password or Google sign-in round out a workspace that respects how your files already live.

With a deliberately minimalist design philosophy and zero database dependencies, DumbPad delivers a self-hosted notepad that stores notes as plain text files with real-time auto-saving every 10 seconds and keyboard-shortcut manual saves. The Node.js Express backend serves a vanilla JavaScript frontend that supports multiple named notepads with direct URL linking and shareable links for instant access to specific notes. The split-view editor displays markdown source on the left and rendered preview on the right with a draggable resize handle, while the full preview mode renders complete markdown with GitHub-style alert blocks for Note, Tip, Important, Warning, and Caution callouts, extended table formatting, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting via highlight.js covering approximately 180 programming languages, collapsible details sections, and checklist support. Fuzzy search matches across both filenames and file contents for fast navigation across large collections. Optional PIN protection secures access with configurable 4 to 10 digit codes, constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks, brute force lockout after 5 failed attempts with 15-minute cooldown, and IP-based tracking. The Docker container runs as non-root UID 1000 by default with multi-architecture support, CORS origin restrictions for reverse proxy deployments, and persistent data volumes. Notes can be downloaded as text or markdown files, printed with auto-expanded collapsible sections, and imported by placing text files directly into the data directory. On RepoCloud, deploy DumbPad on a dedicated VPS with Docker, root SSH access, and complete control over your note-taking infrastructure, all under the GPL-3.0 license.
