Rustypaste Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Rustypaste hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Rustypaste, a self-hosted pastebin and file server, and share files from a terminal with one curl command that returns a short link. xCloud runs the official Rustypaste 0.18.1 image pinned by digest, generates an upload token and a delete token, keeps uploads on a persistent volume and publishes the server over HTTPS on your domain.

What is Rustypaste?

Rustypaste is a minimal file upload and pastebin service written in Rust. As upstream shows, you upload with curl and the server replies with a short URL, then opening that URL returns the content. A self-hosted Rustypaste also supports expiring links, one-shot files and URL shortening, and is released under the MIT licence. It has no database, no web interface and no user accounts.

On xCloud the template runs Rustypaste 0.18.1 from the official image, pinned by digest. Uploads are stored as plain files on the rustypaste_upload volume. Uploading needs a generated upload token and deleting needs a separate delete token, but anyone holding a file's URL can read it. Uploads default to 10 MB, and the file listing endpoint is switched off.

From Sign-Up to Your First Upload In Just 3 Easy Steps

A self-hosted paste server normally means a container, a configuration file, access tokens, a volume, a domain and a certificate before the first upload. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Rustypaste from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Rustypaste image pinned by immutable digest, plus two small helper containers with no published ports (one fixes volume permissions, one checks readiness), mount the rustypaste_upload volume, generate the upload and delete tokens, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Upload Your First File
Save the upload token and delete token from the installation credentials, then upload from a terminal with curl and the token in the Authorization header. The reply is the URL of your file.

Everything Rustypaste Does, On Your Own Server

Rustypaste runs in full here: a curl-driven paste and file server on your own domain, with the upload and delete tokens already generated.

One-Command Uploads
Send a file or text with a single curl command and the server replies with a short link to it.
Token-Protected Uploads
Uploads need the upload token in the Authorization header; requests with no token or a wrong token are rejected.
A Separate Delete Token
Removing a file needs the delete token, and the delete token cannot be used to upload.
Expiring And One-Shot Links
Upstream supports expiring links and links that can only be viewed once; this install also deletes expired files every hour.
Short URLs And Remote Pastes
Upstream can shorten a URL or fetch a file from a remote URL, using the same curl form upload.
No Database To Run
Rustypaste stores uploads on the filesystem, so the only data to keep is the upload volume.

What You Can Do With Rustypaste

Share logs and snippets from a terminal
Pipe a log, diff or config straight from the shell and paste the returned link into a chat or ticket, without opening a browser.
Hand over a file with a short link
Upload a build artifact or export and send the link, instead of attaching it to an email or a third-party file host.
Links that expire on their own
Send an expire header with an upload so the file is removed after the time you choose; this install also clears expired files hourly.
A private drop for a small team
Give teammates the upload token so only they can add files, while anyone with a link can open what you share.

Rustypaste vs Alternatives

PrivateBin: A pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of the data, with content encrypted and decrypted in the browser; Rustypaste stores uploads as plain files and is driven from curl.
Pastefy: Paste sharing with syntax highlighting and optional client-side encryption; Rustypaste has no web interface and returns raw content.
PicoShare: Lightweight file sharing with direct links and expiration controls, with a shared-secret upload step; Rustypaste uses an upload token sent in a request header.
Gokapi: Expiring file sharing with download limits and user roles; Rustypaste has no accounts and no download limits.
GitHub Gist: A hosted paste service tied to a GitHub account; Rustypaste runs on your own server and domain, with no account.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Is Rustypaste free?

Yes. Rustypaste is MIT licensed, with no per-upload or per-link charge from the project. What you pay for is the Cloud VPS and the disk your uploads fill, which keeps growing until you cap it with a directory size limit.

How much RAM does Rustypaste need?

The manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk. Uploads are held in memory while they are saved, so the 10 MB default limit keeps usage modest, and the 6 GB plan leaves far more room than needed.

Can you self-host Rustypaste with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Rustypaste Docker hosting without the setup: the orhunp/rustypaste 0.18.1 image pinned by digest, a config file supplied inline, generated tokens, the rustypaste_upload volume and HTTPS on your domain. A helper container fixes volume ownership.

How do I upload a file to Rustypaste?

Run curl with the file and your upload token in the Authorization header, for example curl -F '[email protected]' -H 'Authorization: YOUR_UPLOAD_TOKEN' https://your-domain. The reply is the file's URL. There is no web form for uploading.

Can anyone read my Rustypaste uploads?

Anyone who knows a file's URL can read it, so there are no private links. Only the upload token adds files and only the delete token removes them. The home page is public and shows usage text only, and the listing is off.

Can Rustypaste links expire?

Yes. Pastes do not expire unless the uploader sends an expire header, for example expire:1h, and upstream also supports one-shot files. Expired files are cleaned up hourly on this install. Without that header the file stays until deleted.

How do I delete a file from Rustypaste?

Send a DELETE request to the file's URL with the delete token in the Authorization header. Upstream disables deleting when no delete token is set, and this template always generates one, so you can remove files yourself.

How do I back up Rustypaste?

Back up the rustypaste_upload volume, which holds every uploaded file, and keep the two generated tokens. Nothing schedules the copy, so run it yourself and remember that expired files are removed from the volume hourly.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Rustypaste?

The install stays on Rustypaste 0.18.1 until you adopt a newer template version. Copy rustypaste_upload first and read the upstream release notes. A redeploy keeps the volume and every uploaded file, and nothing upgrades the app automatically, so you choose when.

Is there a Rustypaste cloud service I can use?

This page is your own Rustypaste cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the open-source server, with uploads on a volume of your own. No other user shares the server, and the upload token stays with you.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
