Visit Pastefy

Pastefy is an open source, self-hosted pastebin and GitHub Gist alternative for sharing code snippets. It lets users paste code and share it with others, while also supporting client-side encryption for secret pastes and folders for organizing snippets.

Features include an API and embeddable pastes, rich file previews for JSON, YAML, Markdown, HTML, logs, configs, and diagrams, format conversion between JSON, YAML, CSV, HTTP, cURL, and env files, and developer utilities such as hash generation, JWT inspection, cron explanation, and word counting. Tools can be used without creating a paste first.
