I guess there are several of these utilities.
But this one caught my eye
https://github.com/pawelmalak/snippet-box

Dockerised already

[timconsidine]

@timconsidine but don't store anything sensitive e.g. credentials
because there is no login mechanism

[robi]

If packaged, include instructions on how to modify the webserver to have a password protected site, if needed.

[timconsidine]

@robi
not yet packaged for cloudron
just ran it up on another vps to check it out
looks simple to package (famous last words) so may have a bash after I tried it out for a while

[timconsidine]

Yay
Only 2 years to get around to doing this
Having it on my standalone docker VPS pushed it down the todo list.
But trying to get my core apps onto Cloudron

Now packaged and working
Repo : https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/snippet-box-cloudron
Hope it helps someone

There are other solutions for maintaining snippets / code cheat sheet.
I just like this simple functional approach.

Thanks @timconsidine

Hopefully @staff can now get this into the app store?

Very nice! One thing this hasn't seen any commit in 2 years afaict. Not sure how safe this is. Also has issues like https://github.com/pawelmalak/snippet-box/issues/57

[timconsidine]

@girish true no updates because it’s simple, not sure what roadmap or further development could be as the intent is to keep it simple.

As regards authentication, I’ve used proxyAuth addon so the installation is not open.
There’s no user functionality built-in.

Does this address / defeat the vulnerability?
I’m not qualified to say.

I find it very helpful, used it for 2 years behind basic http auth as a native docker app.
If it doesn’t qualify for the AppStore, so be it.
But maybe useful to those who are prepared to install as a custom app.

[girish]

@timconsidine I just wanted to make sure it's maintained, the app looks nice otherwise. Should we open an issue upstream to check the development status?

[timconsidine]

@girish yes, I can do that

[timconsidine]

Done
https://github.com/pawelmalak/snippet-box/issues/69

[timconsidine]

Not the best responses, in terms of it qualifying for the App Store.
Not a problem for me - I will use until I find something better.

[timconsidine]

For transparency, I have stopped using SnippetBox
Partially because I am porting content into a wider KB, not just about snippets.
Partially because of repo lack of maintenance and vulnerability questions.

I think it can be useful and not a huge security issue (containerised).
But I don't want to create impression that it's a high-priority on the wishlist.

[timconsidine]

Also if anyone is looking for a code snippets repository, Gitlab on Cloudron has one.
Didn't notice it before.
I guess a useful location to have snippets in

FYI, Gitea does too
