In their own words
Opengist
Opengist is a free, open-source pastebin that you host yourself, with Git as its storage and workflow. Every snippet is a Git repository: users can create snippets with a plain Git push, or clone and push over HTTP or SSH. Visibility can be public, unlisted, or private, and snippets may contain multiple files, binary files, and images, with ZIP downloads available. Users can browse revision history, compare changes with diffs, and search full text, code, and metadata. Rendering includes syntax highlighting for hundreds of languages plus Markdown, Mermaid, LaTeX, CSV, and media files. Login options include GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, OIDC, and LDAP; TOTP and WebAuthn are listed for account security. Deployment options are a single binary, Docker, or Kubernetes with SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL. A REST API, embeds, JSON retrieval, topics, likes, and forks are also provided.
