MicroBin
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. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. BSD-3-Clause licensed.
Hasty Paste
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.
Lenpaste
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.
