Sitebin documentation

Sitebin is a dead-simple, no-login service for publishing and previewing files on the web. Upload one or more files — from the browser, or from a script or AI agent once you're signed in — and instantly get a public URL.

What a site is

Every upload becomes a site: a folder of files served on its own random subdomain. A site acts either as a web server (files served as-is, index.html as the entry point, optional SPA fallback) or as a file viewer (in-browser rendering for PDF, Markdown, DOCX, CSV/TSV, Jupyter notebooks, images, video, audio and source code). Switching between the two modes is lossless.

Creating a site returns a claim ticket — view URL, edit URL, edit password — shown exactly once. There are no accounts in the core: the ticket is the whole credential model. See Using Sitebin.

Ways to run it

• Hosted — app.sitebin.io, zero setup, free without an account. Plans.
• Self-hosted community — MIT-licensed, one container, one volume, no database. Start with the quickstart.
• Self-hosted Enterprise — adds accounts, OAuth, tiered quotas, billing and custom domains. See Enterprise setup.
