Deploy and Host minbin on Railway

minbin is a minimal, ephemeral pastebin service built with simplicity and privacy in mind. it's self-hostable, open source, and ideal for quick, temporary sharing of snippets, logs, or notes.

pastes expire automatically after 1 hour, or immediately after being viewed (optional). you can view pastes through a clean HTML interface or directly as raw plaintext. a QR code is generated for each paste to make sharing even easier.

Common Use Cases

minbin works like most other pastebin services. just paste any text, publish, and you get a short link which you can share. it's ideal to transfer text to other machines or to share code snippets temporarily.

About Hosting

minbin consists of a microservice and a redis-compatible database. everything is configured to work right out of the box. for all configuration options, reference the readme.
