Set Up Your Own Private Pastebin: Control Your Snippets and Secrets

If you’ve ever relied on public pastebin services to share code snippets, logs, or sensitive configurations, you’ve probably worried about privacy and longevity. Public pastebins can delete content at any time, expose data to unwanted eyes, or fail to give you fine-grained control over who sees what.  And what if they get hacked?  Even if you're anonymous, logs and other data could possibly trace things back to you.  And if you're stored anything sensitive there, they could be exposed.  The good news is that you can easily set up your own self-hosted Pastebin.  That's the LowEnd DIY way!

Coolify is a nice middle-ground between these two extremes.
