wastebin, a minimal fast self hosted pastebin for sharing text and code with syntax highlighting, Markdown rendering and per paste expiry.
wastebin is a minimal, fast self hosted pastebin. Paste text or a snippet of code into a clean web form and get back a short shareable URL with syntax highlighting for more than 170 languages, optional Markdown rendering, per paste expiry, burn after reading and anonymous owner deletion. It is a single static binary with an embedded SQLite backend, so it stays lightweight and starts instantly.
It suits developers and teams who want a private place to share snippets, logs, diffs and configuration inside their own cloud account, rather than posting them to a public paste service.
cloudimg delivers wastebin fully installed behind an nginx reverse proxy, so a working paste service answers the moment the instance boots. The image is secure by default: wastebin binds only to loopback and nginx rate limits inbound requests, closing the denial of service gap the wastebin authors warn about when it is run directly on the internet, with a sensible paste size limit and a one day default expiry. wastebin has no user accounts and no admin surface by design, so there is no default password: the one per instance secret, the key that signs anonymous deletion cookies, is generated uniquely on each instance's first boot and is never baked into the image. The base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
