Rustypaste

Rustypaste is a small, fast pastebin and file upload service written in Rust. It provides a simple HTTP interface for uploading files (including text pastes) and serving them back via shareable URLs, with configuration aimed at safe and convenient personal or team use.

Key Features

• HTTP endpoints for uploading and downloading shared files/pastes
• Configurable storage backend on disk with directory layout controls
• Optional expiry/retention settings for uploaded content
• Limits and controls (e.g., maximum upload size) to reduce abuse
• Optional authentication/token-based protection for uploads (configurable)
• Simple configuration file and environment-based configuration support
• Designed to be lightweight and easy to run behind a reverse proxy

Use Cases

• Host a private pastebin for sharing logs/snippets within a team
• Temporary file drop for sharing artifacts (screenshots, binaries) via URL
• Lightweight “share this file quickly” endpoint for scripts and automation

Limitations and Considerations

• Not intended as a full collaboration platform (no rich editor, comments, or versioning)
• Feature set is intentionally minimal; advanced moderation/anti-abuse features may require a reverse proxy/WAF

Rustypaste fits users who want a minimal, performant paste/file sharing endpoint with straightforward configuration and predictable behavior. It is especially suitable when you want a simple URL-based sharing workflow without the complexity of larger file-sharing suites.
