bin is a minimal pastebin which also accepts binary files like Images, PDFs and ships multiple clients.
It does not require you to host a SQL server and everything is self-contained in a statically linked binary (the docker image runs on scratch), which makes it extremely easy to deploy.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Does not use a database. It lacks non-essential features like password-protection / automatic deletion as a result of which, it can do completely fine with flat filesystems. As an upside (opinionated), it makes deploying it easier.
- Uses server sided highlighting, which ensures that everything stays light and snappy at the client side.
- Uses very minimal frontend because a pastebin does not need it. It focuses (or at least tries to) on getting things done in minimum amount of clicks.
