Is dpaste actively maintained?
dpaste logged 1 commit over the last 11 months, but none in the most recent quarter. Development has paused rather than stopped outright — worth watching before a production deployment.
The last tagged release, v3.8, is over 2 years old. If you deploy, expect to build from the default branch rather than a stable tag.
dpaste ranks #22 of 25 tracked pastebins projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.
What dpaste actually does
dpaste is a lightweight pastebin application designed for sharing text snippets and source code via short, memorable URLs. It provides a simple web interface for quick publishing without complex overhead. The project is written in Python and released under the MIT licence.
Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you need a straightforward, self-hosted text-sharing utility for a local network or small team.
Worth knowing: The repository has very low maintenance activity and infrequent releases, meaning you should expect to handle any bug fixes or security patches yourself.
Deployment notes
Because the application runs on Python within a Docker container, you will typically need to configure a persistent volume for data storage and place it behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS.
