# Palette
Fast, self-hosted pastebin with paste cans, password lock, expiry, custom URLs, and an API-first design.
## Quick start
```bash
go build -o palette .
./palette
# UI at http://localhost:8080
```
## Docker
```bash
docker build -t palette .
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v palette-data:/data palette
```
## Configuration
| Env var | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PALETTE_ADDR` | `:8080` | Listen address |
| `PALETTE_DB` | `palette.db` | SQLite database path |
| `PALETTE_MAX_TEXT` | `5242880` | Max paste size in bytes (5 MB) |
| `PALETTE_MAX_ITEM` | `26214400` | Max can item size in bytes (25 MB) |
## API
### Create paste
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/pastes \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"content": "print(hello)",
"title": "my snippet",
"language": "python",
"expires_in": "168h",
"password": "optional",
"custom_slug": "optional",
"burn_after_read": false,
"visibility": "public"
}'
```
Response includes `id`, `url`, `raw_url`, `api_url`, and a one-time `deletion_token`.
### Get paste
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}
# password-protected pastes:
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}?password=secret"
# or via header: X-Paste-Password: secret
```
### Raw content
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/raw/{id}
```
### Soft delete
```bash
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}
```
### Hard delete (requires deletion token)
```bash
curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}/redeem?token=TOKEN"
```
### Public history
```bash
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/public?limit=25&offset=0"
```
### Create can (bundle of items)
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/can \
-F "title=My bundle" \
-F "expires_in=48h" \
-F 'json_items=[{"title":"notes.txt","content":"some notes"}]' \
-F "files=@screenshot.png" \
-F "files=@log.txt"
```
### Get can + items
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/api/cans/{id}
curl http://localhost:8080/api/cans/{id}/items/{item_id}
```
## Expiry and deletion
- Expired pastes are soft-deleted by a background sweeper (runs every minute).
- Soft-deleted pastes are hard-deleted after a 7-day grace period.
- Deletion tokens allow immediate hard delete.
- Burn-after-read pastes are soft-deleted on first read.
## Web pages
- `/new` — create a paste
- `/history` — public paste history
- `/{id}` — view a paste
- `/unlock/{id}` — password gate for protected pastes
- `/raw/{id}` — raw content with original content type
## CI
Gitea Actions workflow at `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`:
- On push to main: `go vet` + `go test`
- On tags: build and push Docker image to `git.archfox.org/poslop/palette`
