Lenpaste

Share code snippets, logs, configs, and notes without registration, tracking, or ads: Lenpaste is a minimal, self-hosted, anonymous alternative to pastebin.com. It is deliberately spartan in the right ways: no accounts, no JavaScript required (the entire site works in text browsers and hardened setups), and cookies used solely to store display preferences. Pastes support syntax highlighting across a long list of languages (from ApacheConf and Arduino to mainstream stacks), configurable expiration from minutes to unlimited, one-use "burn after reading" pastes that self-delete on first view, optional author attribution, and iframe embedding for dropping pastes into other pages. The form-encoded HTTP API covers everything the UI does - create pastes with title, syntax, expiration, and line-ending normalization, fetch them by ID, and query server capabilities - making it trivial to pipe command output to your paste server from shell scripts. Server operators control maximum title and body lengths, maximum paste lifetime, rate limits for viewing and creation, search-engine indexing policy, and can lock private instances behind HTTP Basic authentication. It deploys as a single lightweight Docker container, giving your team a snippet-sharing endpoint where the content never touches a third-party service.

Hastebin

"Throw it on a haste and send the link" entered developer vocabulary because of Hastebin (haste-server), the minimalist open-source pastebin. Written in Node.js with three stated design goals - be really pretty, be really simple, be easy to set up - it does one job precisely: paste code, logs, stack traces, or config snippets, press save (or Ctrl+N for a new one), and get a short random-key URL to share. Syntax highlighting renders pastes readably across common languages, a raw view serves plain text for curl and scripts, and duplicate-and-edit makes iterating on a shared snippet trivial. The killer workflow is the terminal: with the haste-client utility or a one-line shell function, `cat error.log | haste` prints a shareable URL straight from stdout - the fastest route from a broken build to a colleague's eyeballs. Storage is pluggable through a simple adapter interface: filesystem by default, Redis with optional key expiration for pastes that should age out, and configurable key length, maximum paste size, and static documents. Self-hosting matters here because pastes often contain internal logs and stack traces that should never sit on a public pastebin - your instance keeps them inside your network, under your retention rules.

Hasty Paste

Paste some text, hit save, share the link - Hasty Paste is a fast, minimal pastebin written in Python on the async Quart framework, named, by its author's own admission, "because you use it so fast without a care in the world." No accounts, no authentication, no friction - built for the everyday case of handing a debug log, config snippet, or stack trace to someone in tech support or a chat channel. Pastes get randomly generated IDs, with an optional "long" ID mode that makes brute-force URL guessing impractical, and expiry times ensure throwaway content actually gets thrown away. Optional Pygments syntax highlighting makes code readable, a dark theme spares your eyes, and the whole interface works without JavaScript - it renders in terminal browsers and under the strictest script blockers. Storage is a custom flat-file system (no database), caching runs internally or through Redis for busier instances, and a REST API plus the companion "Hastily Paste It" CLI script enable piping command output straight into a paste from the terminal. The Alpine-based Docker image is tiny, resource usage is minimal, and the license is AGPL.
