Anyone Running an Internal Pastebin?


With Microsoft Teams being so terrible at sharing code snippets, I was looking at using an internal Pastebin. This would hopefully make it easier to just share short URLs in Teams.

I found a list of pastebins here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#pastebins

If you run an internal pastebin instance, what has been your experience with it? Does it get much use? Is it integrated with your SSO? was it approved by corporate and/or your IT security department? Can you recommend a specific project?

No but we use a GitHub repository that's auto synced every minute from everyone's dev environment specifically for sharing texts. It's like a "poor-man's" collaborative editor, without the CRDTs. We organize texts into folders, and it's a mix of markdown, CSV, pure text and "DIY formats" like "the way Pete does his todo lists".

Advantage is that everyone can bring their own IDE to have their own preferences / formatting, etc -- to any code snippets, or other text, that we share.

Low tech.

Thank you for this link, I will investigate! :)
