LinkDrop

A minimalist, high-speed paste service built in Rust. Designed for privacy, OLED-dark aesthetics, and a "stealth" workflow.

Run with Docker

Bash (Linux/macOS)

docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -e LINKDROP_PUBLIC_PATH=https://footnote-playhouse-blinker.ngrok-free.dev/ \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/LINKDROP_data \
  princechauhan12/linkdrop:latest

PowerShell (Windows)

docker run -d `
  -p 8080:8080 `
  -e LINKDROP_PUBLIC_PATH=https://your-domain.com `
  -v "${PWD}/data:/app/LINKDROP_data" `
  princechauhan12/linkdrop:latest

Config

• LINKDROP_PUBLIC_PATH: Your domain (e.g. link.example.com). Used for QR codes and share links.
• LINKDROP_DATA_DIR: Path to the SQLite database and storage.
• LINKDROP_PORT: Port to listen on (default: 8080).
• LINKDROP_BIND: IP to bind to (default: 0.0.0.0).

Features

• Minimalist UI: Pure black background, zero distraction.
• Ephemeral: Burn-after-read and auto-expiry support.
• Mobile Friendly: Integrated QR codes for instant transfer.
• Read-Only Mode: Lock pastes so they can't be edited.
• Security: 1MB payload limits and slug sanitization.
• Pure Share: Special preview mode (?created=true) that doesn't count as a "view".

Development

Requires Rust and Cargo.

./target/release/linkdrop
