GigaPaste

File sharing, url shortener and pastebin all in one place.
Please star this project if you find it useful, thank you!

Why it's better than other similar apps ⚡

• works in mobile browsers, can upload file / text with ctrl+v, drag and drop, browse file or through terminal
• Extremely easy to set up, all you need is go build . or use the docker-compose.yaml and it's done
• Very easy for modificiations, don't like the style? pick a .css file from here and replace the static/theme.css, don't like the layout? the html page is well commented and structured
• Can run on any OS or deployment platforms like repl.it, render, fly.io, etc
• Designed to run efficiently on any system, regardless of its CPU or memory resources
• Can handle gigabytes of file upload and download with fixed memory and cpu usage
• Encryption done right, all your data can be secured with AES & pbkdf2 for passwords
• Decryption is done on the fly, the encrypted data is never decrypted to the disk
• Short & unambiguous URL generation (with letters like ilI1 omitted) with collision detection
• QR code support to quickly share files to / between mobile devices

URL shortener 🔗

simply paste any valid url (must start with http:// or https://) to the textbox and upload

Dont like how it looks? 🎨

pick a .css file from here and replace the static/theme.css, or search for "classless css"

Settings ⚙️

You can modify the variables inside data/settings.json

• fileSizeLimitMB = limit file size (in megabytes)
• textSizeLimitMB = limit text size (in megabytes)
• streamSizeLimitKB = limit file encryption, decryption, upload & download buffer stream size (in kb) to limit memory usage
• streamThrottleMS = add throttle to the encryption, decryption, upload & download buffer to limit cpu usage
• pbkdf2Iterations = key derivation algorithm iteration, the higher the better, but 100000 should be enough
• cmdUploadDefaultDurationMinute = default file duration if you upload file through curl if duration is not specified
• BaseUrl = a prefix for all the endpoints, which is useful when hosting multiple services on the same hostname

You can modify CPU/memory usage by calculating the memory usage / sec with streamSizeLimitKB * (1000/streamThrottleMS), the default setting can handle 40 MB of data on file upload, download, encryption & decryption / second, you can tune this down if needed

If you want to run GigaPaste behind a caddy reverse proxy, you can, for example, set the BaseUrl setting to "/gigapaste" and use the following config in the CaddyFile:

yoursite.com {
    encode zstd gzip
    reverse_proxy /gigapaste/* gigapaste:80
}

and access GigaPaste at yoursite.com/gigapaste/

Curl upload ⬆️

curl -F "file=@main.go" -F "duration=10" -F "pass=123" -F "burn=true" yoursite.com
Note that the duration, password, and burn is totally optional, you can just write curl -F "file=@file.txt" yoursite.com for quick upload

Security 🔒

For maximum security, it is recommended to encrypt your file before uploading
