What is logpaste?
LogPaste lets you upload and share debug logs through a web interface, command line, or JavaScript. It runs as a single Docker container using SQLite for storage, and can automatically back up data to any S3-compatible service or Google Cloud Storage using Litestream. The interface text (title, subtitle, footer) can be customized without code changes. Rate limiting and max upload size are configurable. Deployment guides cover fly.io, Heroku, Google Cloud Run, and Amazon LightSail.
