Snipo

Snipo is a lightweight, self-hosted snippet manager for a single user.

Snipo does not provide user accounts or tenant isolation. One master password protects the instance.

Highlights

• Multi-file snippets with syntax highlighting, folders, tags, search, and history
• Public links, soft deletion, expiration, and encrypted backup export
• Read, write, and admin API tokens
• Optional S3 backups and two-way GitHub Gist sync
• Browser extension, VS Code extension, and terminal client
• Local frontend assets with no runtime CDN dependency

Quick start

Create a .env file from the example, replace every placeholder, and start the container:

cp .env.example .env
chmod 600 .env
docker compose up -d

Snipo listens on http://localhost:8080. Continue with the deployment guide before making the instance remotely accessible.
