Pastebin Services

Or "How To Use Public Command-Line Pastebin Services Without Installing Anything."​

Introduction​

Sometimes we might want to easily share terminal output.

While this can be accomplished directly in communications or manually through text storage websites like pastebin, there also exist a number of open services that allow you to paste and share directly from the command line by using tools you already have installed.

This is great for many situations, including troubleshooting from a non-graphical boot, or simply very large outputs. Here we will share a few examples and how to use them.

Services and Examples​

0x0​

<command> | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st

paste.c-net.org​

<command> | curl -s --data-binary @- https://paste.c-net.org

Paste69​

<command> | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x45.st/p

rocketpaste​

<command> | curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs

Oshi​

<command> | curl -F 'file=@-' https://oshi.ec

0.vern.cc​

<command> | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0.vern.cc

BasedBin​

<command> | curl -F'file=@-' https://basedbin.fly.dev

pb1n​

<command> | curl -F'f=@-' http://pb1n.de

Aliases and other tricks​

To quasi-install 0x0.st pasting and sharing add the following to your bashrc (zshrc untested):​
0paste .bashrc
0paste() {
    local url='https://0x0.st'
    if (( $# )); then
        local file
        for file; do
            curl -F "file=@""$file""" "$url" 
        done
    else
        curl -F 'file=@-' "$url"
    fi
}

Then you can use 0paste:

<command> | 0paste to share output.

0paste <filepath> <filepath2> to share file(s).

To quasi-install paste.c-net.org pasting and sharing add the following to your bashrc (zshrc untested):​
paste.cnet.org .bashrc
pastenet()
{
    local url='https://paste.c-net.org/'
    if (( $# )); then
        local file
        for file; do
            curl -s \
                --data-binary @"$file" \
                --header "X-FileName: ${file##*/}" \
                "$url"
        done
    else
        curl -s --data-binary @- "$url"
    fi
}
pasteget()
{
    local url='https://paste.c-net.org/'
    if (( $# )); then
        local arg
        for arg; do
            curl -s "${url}${arg##*/}"
        done
    else
        local arg
        while read -r arg; do
            curl -s "${url}${arg##*/}"
        done
    fi
}

Then you can use 'pastenet' and 'pasteget' a few ways:

<command> | pastenet to share output.

pastenet <filepath> <filepath2> to share file(s). 50M limit.

pasteget https://paste.c-net.org/<exampleurl> to download paste.c-net shared content.
