wastebin
[](https://github.com/matze/wastebin/actions/workflows/rust.yml)
## support 🇺🇦 • defend 🇪🇺
A minimal pastebin with a design shamelessly copied from
[bin](https://github.com/WantGuns/bin).
DEMO (resets every day)
You are reading the documentation for an **unreleased version**. You can refer
to earlier versions here:
[2.7.1](https://github.com/matze/wastebin/tree/85a519ef9079c4618f851cce575b5a84334a6f42) • [3.0.0](https://github.com/matze/wastebin/tree/14a30bb540110e76da6a6045cd0e83fd2218cdd7)
## Features
* [axum](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum) and [sqlite3](https://www.sqlite.org) backend
* comes as a single binary with low memory footprint
* compresses pastes using [zstd](https://github.com/facebook/zstd)
* highlights entries with [syntect](https://github.com/trishume/syntect)
* has seven color themes in light and dark mode
* encrypts entries using ChaCha20Poly1305 and argon2 hashed passwords
* allows deletion after expiration, after reading or by anonymous owners
* shows QR code to browse a paste's URL on mobile devices
### Non-features
* user authentication and admin functionality
* arbitrary file uploads
* mitigations for all kinds of DoS attack vectors
## Installation
### Run pre-built binaries
You can download pre-built, statically compiled [Linux
binaries](https://github.com/matze/wastebin/releases). After extraction run the
contained `wastebin` binary.
### Run a Docker image
Alternatively, you can run a pre-built Docker image pushed to `quxfoo/wastebin`.
To persist the database as `state.db` via the
`WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH` environment variable use a bind mount to
`/path/for/storage` like this
```bash
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
> with `TMPDIR` being set. If database migrations fail with an extended sqlite
> error code 6410, pass `TMPDIR` pointing to a location sqlite can write to.
### Run with docker-compose
```yaml
services:
wastebin:
restart: always
environment:
- WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH=/data/state.db
ports:
- "8088:8088"
volumes:
- './data:/data'
image: 'quxfoo/wastebin:latest'
```
Make sure the `./data` folder is writable by the user 10001.
### Run with Nix
For Nix users, a `flake.nix` is also provided. Build and execute it directly
with:
```bash
nix run 'github:matze/wastebin#wastebin'
```
Or install the provided `wastebin` package like you normally would.
### Build from source
Install a Rust 2024 toolchain containing Rust 1.85 with
[rustup](https://rustup.rs) and run the server binary with
```bash
cargo run --release
```
### Build a container image
It is possible to build a container image using Docker or Podman. Assuming you
are in the root directory of the repository run
```bash
# Docker
sudo docker build -t wastebin:v3.0.0 -f Dockerfile .
# Podman
podman build -t wastebin:v3.0.0 -f Dockerfile
```
To cross-compile, make sure that your container engine of choice supports it,
e.g. Docker:
```bash
sudo docker buildx ls
NAME/NODE DRIVER/ENDPOINT STATUS BUILDKIT PLATFORMS
default* docker
\_ default \_ default running v0.14.1 linux/amd64, linux/amd64/v2, linux/386, linux/arm64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/mips64le, linux/mips64, linux/loong64, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6
```
To build an arm64 image on an x86_64 host run
```bash
# Docker
sudo docker build --platform linux/arm64 -t wastebin:v3.0.0-arm64 -f Dockerfile.arm .
# Podman
podman build --arch=arm64 -t wastebin:v3.0.0-arm64 -f Dockerfile.arm
```
## Usage
### Browser interface
When viewing a paste, you can use
* r to view the raw paste,
* n to go the index page,
* y to copy the current URL to the clipboard,
* c to copy the content to the clipboard,
* q to display the current URL as a QR code,
* p to view the formatted paste and
* ? to view the list of keybindings.
To paste some text you can also use the ctrl+s key
combination.
### Configuration
The following environment variables can be set to configure the server and
run-time behavior:
| Variable | Description | Default |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| `WASTEBIN_ADDRESS_PORT` | Address and port to bind the server to. | `0.0.0.0:8088` |
| `WASTEBIN_BASE_URL` | Base URL for the QR code display. | |
| `WASTEBIN_CACHE_SIZE` | Number of rendered items to cache. Disable with 0. | `128` |
| `WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH` | Path to the sqlite3 database file. | `:memory:` |
| `WASTEBIN_HTTP_TIMEOUT` | Maximum number of seconds a request is processed until wastebin responds with 408. | `5` |
| `WASTEBIN_MAX_BODY_SIZE` | Number of bytes to accept for POST requests. | `1048576`, i.e. 1 MB |
| `WASTEBIN_PASSWORD_SALT` | Salt used to hash user passwords used for encrypting pastes. | `somesalt` |
| `WASTEBIN_PASTE_EXPIRATIONS` | Possible paste expirations as a comma-separated list of seconds. Appending `=d` to one of the value makes it the default selection. | see [here](https://github.com/matze/wastebin/blob/master/crates/wastebin_server/src/env.rs#L135) |
| `WASTEBIN_SIGNING_KEY` | Key to sign cookies. Must be at least 64 bytes long. | Random key generated at startup, i.e. cookies will become invalid after restarts and paste creators will not be able to delete their pastes. |
| `WASTEBIN_THEME` | Theme colors, one of `ayu`, `base16ocean`, `coldark`, `gruvbox`, `monokai`, `onehalf`, `solarized`. | `ayu` |
| `WASTEBIN_TITLE` | HTML page title. | `wastebin` |
| `RUST_LOG` | Log level. Besides the typical `trace`, `debug`, `info` etc. keys, you can also set the `tower_http` key to a log level to get additional request and response logs. | |
### API endpoints
POST a new paste to the `/` endpoint with the following JSON payload:
```
{
"text": "",
"extension": "",
"title": "",
"expires": ,
"burn_after_reading": ,
"password": ,
}
```
After successful insertion, you will receive a JSON response with the path to
the newly created paste:
```json
{"path":"/Ibv9Fa.rs"}
```
To retrieve the raw content, make a GET request on the `/raw/:id` route. In case
the paste was encrypted, pass the password via the `wastebin-password` header.
To delete a paste, make a DELETE request on the `/:id` route with the `uid`
cookie set that was sent back in the `Set-Cookie` header of the redirect
response after creation.
### wastebin-ctl command line tool
`wastebin-ctl` is a command line tool to interact directly with the wastebin
database. It can be used to `list` all entries or `purge` entries which have
expired. To specify the database either use the `--database` option or set the
`WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH` environment variable as usual.
### Paste from neovim
Use the [wastebin.nvim](https://github.com/matze/wastebin.nvim) plugin and paste
the current buffer or selection with `:WastePaste`.
### Paste from clipboard
To paste clipboard data from the command line you can use the aforementioned API
calls together with `xclip`, `curl` and `jq`. Define the following function in
your `.bashrc` and you are good to go:
```bash
function paste_from_clipboard() {
local API_URL="https://wastebin.tld"
local URL=$(\
jq -n --arg t "$(xclip -selection clipboard -o)" '{text: $t}' | \
curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @- ${API_URL}/ | \
jq -r '. | "'${API_URL}'\(.path)"' )
xdg-open $URL
}
```
For wayland users, consider replace the `xclip ...` with `wl-paste` from `wl-clipboard`.
### Paste from stdin
To paste from stdin use the following function in your `.bashrc`:
```bash
function paste_from_stdin() {
local API_URL="https://wastebin.tld"
jq -Rns '{text: inputs}' | \
curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @- ${API_URL}/ | \
jq -r '. | "'${API_URL}'\(.path)"'
}
```
It can be handy for creating pastes from logs or the output of commands, e.g.
`cat file.log | paste_from_stdin`.
