BinPastes is a minimal pastebin implementation intended for small self-hosted deployments. It provides a Java-based backend and a TypeScript frontend delivering searchable notes with optional expiry and client-side encryption.
Key Features
- Full-text search and overview of stored notes for quick lookup.
- Configurable expiry for notes (one-time or time-limited) and adjustable visibility/exposure settings.
- Client-side encryption of paste content so the server never stores plaintext if used.
- Dark mode and a lightweight TypeScript/CSS frontend for readable UI.
- Packaged as a single runnable Java artifact (produced via Maven) for straightforward deployment.
- Supports MySQL (production profile) and is built for JDK 21+.
Use Cases
- Securely sharing short notes, credentials, or snippets among a small team with optional expiry.
- Storing one-time messages or ephemeral logs that self-expire after a set period.
- Developer snippet manager for private code examples and configuration snippets with full-text search.
Limitations and Considerations
- Requires JDK 21+ and MySQL 8+ for the production profile; an application properties file must be provided for MySQL configuration.
- Distributed/large-scale deployments may need additional operational work (no official container image referenced in repository; build uses the provided Maven wrapper).
BinPastes is a compact, pragmatic pastebin focused on privacy (client-side encryption) and simplicity. It is suitable for small teams or individuals who want a searchable, expiring paste service they control.
