I built GhostBin, a lightweight pastebin designed to replace the simplicity and speed that services like ix.io used to offer. ix.io has been down for a long time, and most existing pastebins are either bloated, slow, or not CLI-friendly. I needed something minimal that “just works,” especially for piping logs and command outputs during debugging or writing content. So I made my own.

GhostBin focuses on:

Simplicity: Clean interface and a straightforward API.

Performance: Go + Redis for fast reads/writes.

CLI-first workflow: curl and shell pipelines work out of the box.

Privacy & control: Self-hostable with Docker; no vendor lock-in.

Burn-after-read + expiration: Useful for ephemeral snippets.

Optional deletion secret: Allows secure deletion via API.
