About Pastemyst

Pastemyst is a free, open-source website for storing and sharing text and code snippets. The repository contains the source code for the site, and the project describes itself as a powerful website for this purpose. The project asks for donations to help pay for the server.

Pastes can contain multiple files, be tagged, be marked private or encrypted, and be edited with a full history. The project provides a REST API, which its README describes as mostly restriction free, and a first-party command-line tool called pastry-cli. The README includes build instructions for Windows and a Docker setup for running the site locally, which requires MongoDB and other tools.
