lesma

lesma provides a lightweight paste service that can be accessed through a web browser or via command‑line tools, allowing users to store and retrieve plain‑text snippets quickly. The application supports configurable limits such as the number of downloads, expiration time measured in hours, and optional password protection for each paste. It also accepts plain‑text files through drag‑and‑drop, simplifying the upload process.

Designed for self‑hosting, lesma runs without requiring a subscription and offers a free tier for unlimited usage within the defined constraints. The software is released under the GPL‑3.0 license, ensuring that the source code remains open and freely modifiable. Its stable maturity level indicates that the core functionality has been thoroughly tested and is ready for production environments.

Developers and teams who need a straightforward, self‑controlled paste solution—whether for sharing code snippets, configuration fragments, or other text data—can deploy lesma on their own infrastructure and interact with it through both graphical and terminal interfaces.
