snips.sh is a passwordless, anonymous pastebin service powered entirely by SSH, with a terminal UI and a syntax-highlighted web UI. It is written in Go, uses SQLite, and is designed to be lightweight and easily self-hostable as a single container.

Use cases

• paste code snippets from the terminal via ssh
• share snippets with time-limited signed urls
• self-host a lightweight pastebin
• manage snippets from a terminal TUI
• share code anonymously without accounts
• quickly upload files from any machine with ssh

When to choose

• you want zero-install snippet sharing using only an SSH client
• you prefer terminal-first workflows with a TUI
• you need a lightweight, self-hostable pastebin with SQLite
• you want anonymous, passwordless access tied to SSH keys
• you need time-limited signed URLs for sensitive snippets

When to avoid

• you need rich collaboration features like comments or forking
• you require large file hosting beyond configured size limits
• you need multi-user access control beyond SSH keys
• you want permanent private storage with account management
