Open-source platforms for hosting private text and code snippet sharing services on your own infrastructure.
PrivateBin is a self-hosted, zero-knowledge text hosting service and secret sharing tool. It utilizes browser-based AES 256-bit encryption to ensure that data is encrypted on the client side before transmission, meaning the hosting server cannot read or recover the original content. The project distinguishes itself by using URL fragments to distribute decryption keys, preventing the secret key from ever being sent to the server. It supports the distribution of both encrypted text and files, which are compressed and encrypted locally prior to storage. The platform includes capabilities for an
PrivateBin is a zero-knowledge, self-hosted pastebin that encrypts content client-side using AES, supports syntax highlighting and expiration policies, and provides a JSON API, covering the core features you need.
FileCodeBox is a self-hosted service for anonymous file transfer and private content hosting. It functions as a secure distribution tool and private pastebin, allowing users to share files and text snippets through the use of unique extraction codes. The platform differentiates itself with flexible expiration logic, where shared content can be automatically invalidated based on a predefined clock time or a maximum number of downloads. It also provides direct-browser multimedia rendering to preview images, audio, and video files without requiring a full download. The system includes administr
FileCodeBox is a self-hosted private pastebin and file-sharing service that uses extraction codes and flexible expiration, and while it covers core pastebin needs like text snippet sharing and access controls, it does not explicitly mention syntax highlighting or client-side encryption.
