About lesma

lesma is a simple paste application for sharing text snippets, friendly with both the browser and the command line. You paste plain text files by drag and drop, and can set a download count limit, an expiration time in hours, and an optional password to control how a paste is shared. Written in Rust and packaged for Docker, it is easy to self-host as a small, focused pastebin for teams, servers, and personal use without unnecessary features.
