# bepasty

bepasty is like a pastebin for all kinds of files (text, image, audio, video, documents, …, binary).

The documentation is there: https://bepasty-server.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

## Features

- Generic:

  - you can upload multiple files at once, simply by drag and drop

  - after upload, you get a unique link to a view of each file

  - on that view, we show actions you can do with the file, metadata of the file and, if possible, we also render the file contents

  - if you uploaded multiple files, you can create a pastebin with the list of all these files - with a single click!

  - Set an expiration date for your files

- Text files:

  - we highlight all text file types supported by pygments (a lot!)

  - we display line numbers

  - we link from line numbers to their anchors, so you can easily get a link to a specific line

- Image files:

  - we show the image (format support depends on browser)

  - for image list items, we can show a slide show (“carousel” view)

  - in the items list, a thumbnail of images is shown

- Audio and video files:

  - we show the html5 player for it (format support depends on browser)

- asciinema recordings:

  - we show the asciinema player for .cast files

- URLs:

  - we support linking to / redirecting to external URLs, you can use this as a link shortener (avoiding privacy / data protection issues that may exist with other link shorteners)

- PDFs:

  - we support rendering PDFs in your browser (if your browser is able to)

- Storage: we use a storage backend api, currently we have backends for:

  - filesystem storage (just use a filesystem directory to store <uuid>.meta and <uuid>.data files)

  - currently there are no other storage implementations in master branch and releases. The “ceph cluster” storage implementation has issues and currently lives in branch “ceph-storage” until these issues are fixed.

- Keeping some control:

  - flexible permissions: read, create, modify, delete, list, admin

  - assign permissions to users of login secrets

  - assign default permissions to not-logged-in users

  - you can purge files from storage by age, inactivity, size, type, …

  - you can do consistency checks on the storage
