This is really well done, but the problem I have with (most) selfhosted bins is that anyone can use it, and I don’t want to be responsible for the content that might show up.

This is super neat though, and could almost be used as a blog replacement (if of course I could prevent others from using it/posting to it :) )

Usually, for these kind of programs, I put them behind a proxy with basic auth.

Also, when I tried to add something on the demo site, it asked me for an auth key.

Looking at the code, the package.json file has an entry for AUTH_KEY (in the Cloudflare config) to prevent random people from pasting stuff.

I'm planning to set up a VPN into my home network for stuff like this. Services, NAS, etc. that I want remote access to but don't want exposed to the deep dark ocean of the internet.
