Self-Hosted Pastebins and Secret Sharing
Pasting logs, configs or passwords into a public pastebin risks leaks. Self-hosted pastebins and secret-sharing tools support expiry and burn-after-reading, and some encrypt in the browser so even the server cannot read the content.
How to choose
- Is it end-to-end encrypted (encrypted in the browser, unreadable by the server)?
- Controls such as expiry, burn-after-reading and password protection
- Syntax highlighting, file uploads, and how convenient the CLI or API is
