What Pastefy actually does
Pastefy is a self-hosted pastebin application used for storing and sharing snippets of text or code. It features a highlighted editor, multi-tab pastes, an application programming interface, and optional client-side encryption.
Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you need a lightweight, easily deployable alternative to public paste services for internal text sharing.
Worth knowing: Development activity has recently slowed down, which could mean slower responses to security issues or bugs.
Deployment notes
Since it runs via Docker and Kubernetes, you will typically need to configure persistent storage for your paste data and place it behind a reverse proxy for TLS termination.
