dpaste
Django-based pastebin for sharing text snippets
dpaste is a pastebin application built with Python and Django for publishing and sharing text snippets. It is designed to run as a standalone Django site, or to be integrated into an existing Django project as a reusable app.
Key Features
- Create and publish text pastes for easy sharing
- Web UI for submitting and viewing pastes
- Can run as a regular Django project or be embedded into another Django project
- Container-friendly deployment (Docker support)
Use Cases
- Sharing logs and configuration snippets during support or incident response
- Exchanging code snippets in teams without using a full code forge
- Hosting a private paste service for an organization or homelab
Limitations and Considerations
- Public instances may require strong abuse prevention and moderation processes due to potential malicious content submissions
- Requires a modern Python and Django version (at least Python 3.9 and Django 3.2)
dpaste is a practical choice for anyone who wants a straightforward, self-managed paste service with the flexibility of Django-based customization and deployments. It fits both small private deployments and larger installations that need integration into an existing Django stack.
