    This is really well done, but the problem I have with (most) selfhosted bins is that anyone can use it, and I don’t want to be responsible for the content that might show up.

    This is super neat though, and could almost be used as a blog replacement (if of course I could prevent others from using it/posting to it :) )

      Usually, for these kind of programs, I put them behind a proxy with basic auth.

      Also, when I tried to add something on the demo site, it asked me for an auth key.

      Looking at the code, the package.json file has an entry for AUTH_KEY (in the Cloudflare config) to prevent random people from pasting stuff.

        Ah, well that's kinda perfect actually

      I'm planning to set up a VPN into my home network for stuff like this. Services, NAS, etc. that I want remote access to but don't want exposed to the deep dark ocean of the internet.

    Hey there, first of all congratulations, it's really nice and minimal and Illove it!

    But Cloudflare is not self hosting!

    • bhavnicksm 5 hours ago
      Yes, that's quite fair re:Cloudflare!

      I couldn't find the right words to describe this, in comparison to something like Github Gist. I suppose "Own-your-data" since the D1 db generated is yours completely.

      Happy to change the branding to be more reflective of this!

    HOWTO without CloudFlare, is it possible?
    • bhavnicksm 5 hours ago
      Hey!

      Right now, some things are somewhat hard-coded to be Cloudflare compatible. If someone's willing, you can just deploy this without Cloudflare, but you'd need to dig into the code a little.

      In the future releases, I'll make it possible to host it on VPCs and release a Dockerfile along with it, so that should help a little.

      Thanks for checking the project out!

      I use CloudFlare a lot for "self hosting" .. but I also run an old pi from home with Bun in place of workers. Suprisingly compatible and low lift.

      Not exactly "without CloudFlare", but for true compat you can probably also self host workerd itself which is open source: github.com/cloudflare/workerd

      pnpm run build

      should do it

        That creates `dist` with:

        In it. What comes next?

          - navigate to dist directory

          - run pnpm dlx http-serve

          - navigate to one of the provided ip addresses

          (this uses the tunnl.gg service and is not necessary for local network access)

          - [optional, for access via internet] run ssh -t -R 80:[provided ip address including port] proxy.tunnl.gg

            That gave me some other errors. I am giving up. Thanks for helping!

              Fwiw if you want a simple pastebin, I've been running pinnwand for a couple years without any issues off of a single short docker compose file, I think running it on host also shouldn't be complicated

      Crazy that people really need instructions on how to self-host stuff these days... this stuff used to be something most devs could figure out.
