Painless, self-hosted, modern alternative to Hastebin.
Just paste your code or text, click save, and you're ready to go! You can also select a programming language from the dropdown. You can click on the Raw button to view only the contents, without any UI stuff.
fastbin uses Monaco as its editor, which is the editor used by Visual Studio Code. This offers great functionality and syntax highlighting support.
You can also clone a document using the Clone button.
When viewing documents, the syntax highlighter works based on the ending of the URL. For example, if I have a JavaScript file with the key "foobar", I can append ".js" to the end of the URL and it will highlight it as JavaScript. Appending .js to the raw URL will obviously not work, it expects only the key to be provided.
Once you create a snippet, you will be given a link that you can use to delete it from fastbin. This link will only ever be displayed ONCE, so make sure to save it somewhere safe in case you want to delete your snippet later.
fastbin now has its own command line client. It's available for Linux, Mac OS, Windows, and OpenBSD and you can download it using the link below:

fastbin was designed to be compatible with most Hastebin clients. If your client support specifying a custom server, you can specify your self-hosted fastbin URL and it should work just fine.
Currently, files are stored for an indefinite amout of time. This might change in the future (possibly as a custom config option).
Please do NOT post any of your secret keys or passwords to a fastbin server. Every URL is unlisted, but again, available for the public. Snippets are NOT encrypted (i.e. they're plaintext). If there's popular demand for snippet encryption, I'll make sure to include that.
You can deploy the app to your own Vercel account in just one click:
Once the project is created, you must specify the environment variables that are necessary for the storage strategies to work. This is the same as creating a .env file in the manual setup.
fastbin will work nicely on Netlify as well. It's one click away:
Don't forget to specify the environment variables for your Netlify project.
1. Clone the repository
git clone git@github.com:jozsefsallai/fastbin-rewritten.git fastbin
cd fastbin
2. Install the dependencies
npm i -g yarn
yarn
3. Configure your fastbin server
cp .env.example .env
vim .env
Start the server in development mode:
yarn dev
Create a production build:
yarn build
yarn start
At the moment, fastbin can store snippets using three different strategies:
file, s3, firebase. You can specify which one you want to use by changing
the value of the STORAGE_STRATEGY environment variable inside of your .env
file from file to any of the ones mentioned earlier.
Some storage strategies require additional configuration.
You can specify the location of the snippets using the FILE_STORAGE_LOCATION
environment variable. This path is relative to the root of the project.
You need to specify the auth credentials, as well as the endpoint and the S3
bucket name using the S3_* environment variables.
You need to specify the name of the Firebase Storage bucket* inside of the
FIREBASE_BUCKET property of the config. You should also include your Firebase
credentials certificate in .firebase/credentials.json (or as an environment
variable, using FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT). This step is cruial. If you don't
have a credentials JSON file yet, you can generate one in the settings of your
Firebase projects.
*Make sure you only specify the bucket's name, WITHOUT ".appspot.com".
