Opengist on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Opengist is an open source, self hosted pastebin backed by Git. Every snippet, called a gist, is a real Git repository you can clone and push over HTTP, so your pastes carry full version history. A modern web interface offers syntax highlighting, code search, private, unlisted and public visibility, a REST API and optional sign in through OAuth, OpenID Connect or LDAP. An embedded SQLite datastore and on disk Git repositories mean there is no separate database to run.

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

Common uses

• A private self hosted alternative to public gist services
• Sharing code snippets and configuration with full Git history
• A team snippet store you fully control inside your own network
