PasteCrate v0.1.0 — Share with a short code

PasteCrate v0.1.0

Move text and files between devices with just a browser and a short code.

No accounts, messenger apps, file-transfer assistants, or cloud-drive sign-ins.

1. On your first device, paste text and/or attach files, then choose a code like 12.
2. On another device, visit https://paste.example.com/12 (replace the hostname with your own deployed server).
3. Copy or download your content. Delete it when finished or let it expire after 72 hours.

Highlights

• A self-hosted Go service requiring no database
• Share long text, multiple files, or both with a memorable URL
• Live upload progress for selected files totaling over 10 MiB
• Retrieval with a browser, without any client installation
• Automatic expiry after 72 hours; manual deletion available
• Docker Compose deployment or standalone cross-platform executables
• Configurable PASTE_DATA_DIR and PASTE_LISTEN_ADDR (standalone binaries default to ./data and :8080)
