pasties is a work-in-progress project. Commits may be partial. Use at your own discretion. Nothing here is stable, and the schema, routes, and configuration are all subject to change without notice.

🦀 pasties

A small web service for publishing static pages ("pastes"). Registered users may upload pairs of HTML and CSS files and host them at a specified slug.

Features

• User accounts with a simple profile: username, bio, and an avatar rendered from an external link.
• One HTML file and one CSS file per page, addressed by a global slug.
• A live, server-rendered preview that matches the published result exactly.
• Page ownership with transfer, slug changes, and deletion.
• Optional invite-gated registration, with codes minted by administrators.
• An admin dashboard for managing users and pages.

Building and running

cp config.example.toml config.toml
cargo run -- config.toml

You can run the Postgres from a Docker container:

docker run --name pasties-pg \                                                                             
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=user \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=pasties \
  -p 5432:5432 \
  -d postgres:17

Configuration

All configuration lives in a single TOML file. See config.example.toml for the full set of options.
