RedBin: Open-Source Pastebin Alternative with End-to-End Encryption
A secure and private pastebin service with automatic expiration times, anonymous posting, and code syntax highlighting.
What is RedBin?
RedBin is an open-source, self-hosted pastebin alternative with a focus on privacy and security. It allows users to anonymously upload text, code snippets, or entire files for easy sharing. The pastes can have automatic expiration times set, after which they are permanently deleted from the server.
Some key features that set RedBin apart from other pastebins:
- End-to-end encryption - The contents of pastes are encrypted before being stored on the server so only those with the link can view them.
- No tracking - RedBin does not store IP addresses or use analytics/tracking.
- Customizable - Easy to set up and modify to specific usage needs. Lots of configuration options.
- Highlighting - Automatic syntax highlighting for code, with language detection.
- Self-hosted - You run your own RedBin server, so you control the data. This also allows on-premise installs for enterprise security.
- Open source - RedBin is released under the AGPLv3 license, so the code is transparent and auditable.
With its strong focus on privacy as well as ease-of use, RedBin makes an excellent choice for those looking for a secure and customizable pastebin alternative to services like Pastebin or GitHub's Gists.
