About pacebin
pacebin is a dead-simple, super-minimal pastebin and small-file hosting service written in C with a tiny executable of about eighty kilobytes and no dependencies beyond libc. Pastes are stored on the filesystem and managed through basic POST and GET requests, with easy deletion, custom short links, and a companion pacectl utility. It focuses on portability, small size, and easy configuration behind a reverse proxy, making it ideal for minimalists who want a paste service that does one job well.
