Vaultbin is a blazingly fast and secure alternative to Pastebin and Hastebin.
For each paste Vaultbin generates a random 128 bit AES key and encrypts the paste with it.
To identify the encrypted paste in the database it's using a hashed version of that key.
The encryption key is then used in the URL to request and decrypt the paste.
This way nobody with access to the database can read a paste unless they have the exact URL to that paste.
Vaultbin compiles to a single binary and doesn't depend on an external database. The binary includes everything you need to host an instance.
This project was initially inspired by zer0b.in.

To build this project from source you need Go installed.
# Install from git directly (recommended)
go install github.com/merlinfuchs/vaultbin
# Clone and build locally
git clone https://github.com/merlinfuchs/vaultbin
cd vaultbin
go buildVaultbin will look for a vaultbin.toml file in the directory where you start it.
The default config looks like this:
port = "8080"
host = "localhost"
paste_max_size = 69420 # max size of pastes in bytes
paste_ttl = 2592000 # (30 seconds) seconds after a paste will be deleted
[database]
path = "vaultbin.db" # path where data is stored
[ratelimit] # 5 request / 5 seconds
burst_size = 5 # number of request before subsequent request are block
per_second = 5 # seconds it takes to refill one request
reverse_proxy = false # if the backend is deployed behind a revers proxy -> this changes the way the peers IP is retrieved
