bepasty is like a pastebin for all kinds of files (text, image, audio, video, documents, …, binary).

The documentation is there: http://bepasty-server.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

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 offer:

    • download link

    • upload time (UTC)

    • file name we stored at upload time

    • file type we detected at upload time

    • precise size we computed at upload time

    • SHA256 hash (“checksum”)

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

• 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)

• Audio and video files:

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

• 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)

  • ceph cluster storage (distributed & fault-tolerant - uses RADOS Block Devices via librbd and librados)

• Keeping some control:

  • flexible permissions: create, read, delete, 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, …
