MicroBin on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

MicroBin is a tiny, self hosted pastebin and file sharing web application. From one clean web interface you can paste text such as code, notes and logs, upload files to share, shorten URLs and generate QR codes. Uploads can be public, unlisted or private, can expire automatically or vanish after a set number of reads, and can be encrypted on the server or in the browser. A built in JSON datastore means there is no separate database to run, and the whole application is a single self contained binary that needs only a few megabytes of memory.

It suits developers, teams and organisations that want a lightweight, private place to share snippets and files, kept inside their own cloud account rather than on a public service.

Common uses

• A private self hosted alternative to public pastebin services
• Sharing code, logs and configuration snippets across a team
• Moving text and files quickly between machines you control
