A command line pastebin for sharing terminal output
Termbin is a command-line pastebin service that lets users share text output or file contents directly from the terminal. It solves the problem of quickly sharing terminal output, logs, or configuration files without needing a web browser or graphical interface. Users pipe text to the service using netcat and receive a short URL that can be shared with others to view the content.
The service works by sending data to termbin.com on port 9999 using netcat, which is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users can also retrieve pastes via curl. Pastes are automatically deleted after one week. For the first ten minutes after creation, users can delete a paste by sending a POST request to a delete endpoint from the same IP address. The service logs IP addresses for security and operational purposes but does not collect other personal information.
Termbin is designed for developers, system administrators, and anyone who works in the terminal and needs to share text quickly. It is free to use with no registration or account required. The service is powered by the open-source project Fiche. There is no mention of a free plan, trial, or paid editions; the service appears to be offered as-is with no seat-based or usage-based packaging.
