More about Wastebin

wastebin

Rust

A minimal pastebin with a design shamelessly copied from bin.

DEMO (resets every day)

Features

  • axum and sqlite3 backend with compressed paste data
  • single binary with low memory footprint
  • drag 'n' drop upload
  • deletion after expiration, reading or by owners
  • light/dark mode
  • highlightable line numbers
  • QR code to browse a paste's URL on mobile devices

Installation

Build from source

Install a Rust 2021 toolchain with rustup and run the server binary with

$ cargo run --release

Run pre-built binaries

You can also download pre-built, statically compiled Linux binaries. After extraction run the contained wastebin binary.

Run a Docker image

Alternatively, you can run a pre-built Docker image pushed to quxfoo/wastebin. Here is how to persist the database as state.db via the WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH environment variable and a bind mount to /path/for/storage:

$ docker run -e WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH=/data/state.db -v /path/for/storage:/data quxfoo/wastebin:latest

NOTE: The image is based on scratch which means it neither comes with a shell nor is TMPDIR set. If database migrations fail with an extended sqlite error code 6410, pass TMPDIR pointing to a location, sqlite can use to write.

Usage

Browser interface

When viewing a paste, you can use

  • r to view the raw paste,
  • n to the index page,
  • y to copy the current URL to the clipboard,
  • q to display the current URL as a QR code and
  • p to view the formatted paste,
  • ? to view the list of keybindings.

Configuration

The following environment variables can be set to configure the server and run-time behavior:

  • WASTEBIN_ADDRESS_PORT string that determines which address and port to bind a. If not set, it binds by default to 0.0.0.0:8088.
  • WASTEBIN_BASE_URL string that determines the base URL for the QR code display. If not set, the user agent's Host header field is used as an approximation.
  • WASTEBIN_CACHE_SIZE number of rendered syntax highlight items to cache. Defaults to 128 and can be disabled by setting to 0.
  • WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH path to the sqlite3 database file. If not set, an in-memory database is used.
  • WASTEBIN_MAX_BODY_SIZE number of bytes to accept for POST requests. Defaults to 1 MB.
  • WASTEBIN_SIGNING_KEY sets the key to sign cookies. If not set, a random key will be generated which means cookies will become invalid after restarts and paste creators will not be able to delete their pastes anymore.
  • WASTEBIN_TITLE overrides the HTML page title. Defaults to wastebin.
  • RUST_LOG influences logging. Besides the typical trace, debug, info etc. keys, you can also set the tower_http key to some log level to get additional information request and response logs.

API endpoints

POST a new paste to the / endpoint with the following JSON payload:

{
  "text": "<paste content>",
  "extension": "<file extension, optional>",
  "expires": <number of seconds from now, optional>,
  "burn_after_reading": <true/false, optional>
}

After successful insertion, you will receive a JSON response with the path to the newly created paste:

{"path":"/Ibv9Fa.rs"}

To retrieve the raw content, make a GET request on the /:id route and an accept header value that does not include text/html. If you use a client that is able to handle cookies you can delete the paste once again using the cookie in the Set-Cookie header set during redirect after creation.

Paste from neovim

Use the wastebin.nvim plugin and paste the current buffer or selection with :WastePaste.

Paste from clipboard

We can use the API POST endpoint to paste clipboard data easily from the command line using xclip, curl and jq. Define the following function in your .bashrc and you are good to go:

function waste-paste() {
    local URL=$(\
        jq -n --arg t "$(xclip -selection clipboard -o)" '{text: $t}' | \
        curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @- http://0.0.0.0:8088 | \
        jq -r '. | "http://0.0.0.0:8088\(.path)"')

    xdg-open $URL
}
