bepasty 1.2.2

Features

• Generic:

  • you can upload multiple files at once, simply by drag and drop

  • after upload, you get a unique link to a view of each file

  • on that view, we show actions you can do with the file, metadata of the file and, if possible, we also render the file contents

  • if you uploaded multiple files, you can create a pastebin with the list of all these files - with a single click!

  • Set an expiration date for your files

• Text files:

  • we highlight all text file types supported by pygments (a lot!)

  • we display line numbers

  • we link from line numbers to their anchors, so you can easily get a link to a specific line

• Image files:

  • we show the image (format support depends on browser)

  • for image list items, we can show a slide show (“carousel” view)

  • in the items list, a thumbnail of images is shown

• Audio and video files:

  • we show the html5 player for it (format support depends on browser)

• asciinema recordings:

  • we show the asciinema player for .cast files

• URLs:

  • we support linking to / redirecting to external URLs, you can use this as a link shortener (avoiding privacy / data protection issues that may exist with other link shorteners)

• PDFs:

  • we support rendering PDFs in your browser (if your browser is able to)

• Storage: we use a storage backend api, currently we have backends for:

  • filesystem storage (just use a filesystem directory to store <uuid>.meta and <uuid>.data files)

  • currently there are no other storage implementations in master branch and releases. The “ceph cluster” storage implementation has issues and currently lives in branch “ceph-storage” until these issues are fixed.

• Keeping some control:

  • flexible permissions: read, create, modify, delete, list, admin

  • assign permissions to users of login secrets

  • assign default permissions to not-logged-in users

  • you can purge files from storage by age, inactivity, size, type, …

  • you can do consistency checks on the storage
