rustypaste is a self-hosted and minimal file upload/pastebin service written in Rust.

• File upload & URL shortening & upload from URL
  • supports basic HTTP authentication
  • random file names (optional)
    • pet name (e.g. capital-mosquito.txt)
    • alphanumeric string (e.g. yB84D2Dv.txt)
    • random suffix (e.g. file.MRV5as.tar.gz)
  • supports expiring links
    • auto-expiration of files (optional)
    • auto-deletion of expired files (optional)
  • supports one shot links/URLs (can only be viewed once)
  • guesses MIME types
    • supports overriding and blacklisting
    • supports forcing to download via ?download=true
  • no duplicate uploads (optional)
  • listing/deleting files
  • custom landing page
• Single binary
  • binary releases
• Simple configuration
  • supports hot reloading
• Easy to deploy
  • appjail images
  • docker images
• No database
  • filesystem is used
• Self-hosted
  • centralization is bad!
• Written in Rust
  • blazingly fast!

appjail makejail \
    -j rustypaste \
    -f gh+AppJail-makejails/rustypaste \
    -o virtualnet=":<random> default" \
    -o nat

Now you can run rpaste to upload some code.

$ rpaste -s http://rustypaste:8000 main.c
http://rustypaste:8000/enhanced-pika.c
$ curl http://rustypaste:8000/enhanced-pika.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int
main(void)
{
    printf("Hello!\n");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

This Makejail can process some environment variables best described in #environment.

appjail makejail \
    -j rustypaste \
    -f gh+AppJail-makejails/rustypaste \
    -o virtualnet=":<random> default" \
    -o nat \
    -V RUSTYPASTE_EXPOSE_VERSION=true \
    -V RUSTYPASTE_EXPOSE_LIST=true \
    -V RUSTYPASTE_AUTH_TOKENS_01=123 \
    -V RUSTYPASTE_AUTH_TOKENS_02=321 \
    -V RUSTYPASTE_DELETE_TOKENS_01=456 \
    -V RUSTYPASTE_DELETE_TOKENS_02=654 \
    -V RUSTYPASTE_DEFAULT_EXPIRY=1h \
    -V RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_TYPE=alphanumeric

Using environment variables to deploy rustypaste is fine, but appjail-director is more suitable when we need to define many environment variables as in the example above.

options:
  - virtualnet: ':<random> default'
  - nat:

services:
  rustypaste:
    makejail: gh+AppJail-makejails/rustypaste
    name: rustypaste
    environment:
      - RUSTYPASTE_EXPOSE_VERSION: true
      - RUSTYPASTE_EXPOSE_LIST: true
      - RUSTYPASTE_AUTH_TOKENS_01: 123
      - RUSTYPASTE_AUTH_TOKENS_02: 321
      - RUSTYPASTE_DELETE_TOKENS_01: 456
      - RUSTYPASTE_DELETE_TOKENS_02: 654
      - RUSTYPASTE_DEFAULT_EXPIRY: 1h
      - RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_TYPE: alphanumeric

• rustypaste_tag (default: 13.5) See #tags.
• rustypaste_ajspec (default: gh+AppJail-makejails/rustypaste): Entry point where the appjail-ajspec(5) file is located.

• RUSTYPASTE_REFRESH_RATE (default: 30s): Refresh rate for hot-reloading the configuration file.
• RUSTYPASTE_ADDRESS (default: 0.0.0.0:8000): Address and port to listen for connections.
• RUSTYPASTE_URL (optional): URL used when uploading files. If not defined, the URL used by the client is chosen.
• RUSTYPASTE_WORKERS (optional): Sets number of workers to start (per bind address). If not defined, the available physical CPUs are chosen.
• RUSTYPASTE_MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH (default: 10MB): Upload/Download limit.
• RUSTYPASTE_UPLOAD_PATH (default: /var/db/rustypaste): Where the files are stored.
• RUSTYPASTE_TIMEOUT (default: 30s): Request timeout.
• RUSTYPASTE_EXPOSE_VERSION (default: false): Expose rustypaste version with the /version entrypoint.
• RUSTYPASTE_EXPOSE_LIST (default: false): Expose list of stored files with the /list entrypoint.
• RUSTYPASTE_AUTH_TOKENS_*: Authentication tokens. Multiple tokens are allowed, just use any suffix (e.g.: _01, _02, etc.) you want to differentiate them when processing environment variables.
• RUSTYPASTE_DELETE_TOKENS_*: Delete tokens to allow clients to delete files with the DELETE HTTP method. It has the same format for defining multiple values as explained in RUSTYPASTE_AUTH_TOKENS_*.
• RUSTYPASTE_HANDLE_SPACES (default: replace): Replace whitespaces with either underscore or encoded space (%20) character in the filenames.
• RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_TYPE (default: petname): Which method to use to generate the file names. Valid options are petname, alphanumeric and none.
• RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_WORDS (default: 2): Number of words to be used when RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_TYPE is set to petname.
• RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_SEPARATOR (default: -): Separate words using this separator. It is only valid if RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_TYPE is set to petname.
• RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_LENGTH (default: 8): Length of the filename. Only valid if RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_URL_TYPE has the value alphanumeric.
• RUSTYPASTE_RANDOM_URL_SUFFIX_MODE (optional): Append a random suffix to the filename before the extension. For example, foo.tar.gz will result in foo.eu7f92x1.tar.gz.
• RUSTYPASTE_DEFAULT_EXTENSION (default: txt): If the filename does not have an extension, it is replaced with this environment variable.
• RUSTYPASTE_MIME_OVERRIDE_*: Override MIME types. This environment variable uses ; to separate the mime and regex, e.g. RUSTYPASTE_MIME_OVERRIDE_01='image/jpeg;^.*\\.jpg$', RUSTYPASTE_MIME_OVERRIDE_02='image/png;^.*\\.png$', etc. It has the same format for defining multiple values as explained in RUSTYPASTE_AUTH_TOKENS_*.
• RUSTYPASTE_MIME_BLACKLIST_*. Blacklisting MIME types. It has the same format for defining multiple values as explained in RUSTYPASTE_AUTH_TOKENS_*.
• RUSTYPASTE_DUPLICATE_FILES (default: true): Enable or not duplicate files.
• RUSTYPASTE_DEFAULT_EXPIRY: Default expiry time for uploaded files.
• RUSTYPASTE_DELETE_EXPIRED_FILES.
• RUSTYPASTE_DELETE_INTERVAL: Interval for deleting the expired files automatically.
