MicroBin

MicroBin is a super tiny, feature rich, configurable, self-contained and self-hosted paste bin web application. It is very easy to set up and use, and will only require a few megabytes of memory and disk storage. It takes only a couple minutes to set it up, why not give it a try now?

Check out the Public Test Server at pub.microbin.eu!

Or host MicroBin yourself

bash <(curl -s https://microbin.eu/docker.sh)

Or install it manually from Cargo:

A URL redirection.

You can use MicroBin:

To send long texts to other people,

As a "postbox" service where people can upload their files or texts, but they cannot see or remove what others sent you,
Or even to take quick notes.
