Burn After Reading is a simple, fast, standalone pastebin service for the StartOS that uses Tor (.onion) ephemeral links to share encrypted messages and files that are destroyed (burned) after they are viewed.
Using a Tor-enabled browser, you can try the hosted demo here: http://burrrrn6i4g4feosxlliwgfn5ocdznkxxkcfu5ftnwyzxk7fdbwfibyd.onion/.
There is also a clearnet version here: https://burnafterreading.net.
This repository also creates the s9pk
package that is installed to run burn-after-reading
on StartOS.
Install the system dependencies below to build this project by following the instructions in the provided links. You can also find detailed steps to setup your environment in the service packaging documentation.
Clone the Burn After Reading Wrapper locally.

To build the Burn After Reading service as a universal package, run the following command:
make
Alternatively the package can be built for individual architectures by specifying the architecture as follows:
make x86
or
make arm
Before installation, define host: https://server-name.local
in your ~/.embassy/config.yaml
config file then run the following commands to determine successful install:
ℹ️ Change server-name.local to your Start9 server address
start-cli auth login
#Enter your StartOS password
make install
Tip: You can also install the burn-after-reading.s9pk by sideloading it under the StartOS > System > Sideload a Service section.
Go to your StartOS Services page, select Burn After Reading, configure and start the service.
Done!
