MicroBin
Secure pastebin for text and file sharing with URL shortening
MicroBin is a small, self-contained pastebin web application for sharing text snippets, files, and URL redirects. It focuses on simple deployment, strong security options, and flexible sharing controls.
Key Features
- Text pastes, file uploads, and URL shortening/redirection in one service
- Multiple encryption modes (including client-side and server-side options)
- Expiration controls (auto-expiring or never expiring) and visibility controls (public/private)
- Raw text/file serving for direct access to uploaded content
- QR code generation for easy cross-device sharing
- Single-binary deployment with low resource usage
- Storage backends including SQLite and JSON
Use Cases
- Sharing code snippets or logs between machines and teammates
- Securely sending files or sensitive notes via password-protected links
- Running a lightweight internal URL shortener and redirect service
Limitations and Considerations
- Designed for simple sharing workflows rather than full cloud-drive features like sync, versioning, or collaborative editing
MicroBin is a solid choice when you need a compact paste-and-share service that is easy to run and offers practical security and expiration features. It fits well for personal servers, teams, and lightweight internal tooling.
