Share terminal output with one command

kubectl logs deploy/api -n prod --tail=300 | curl --data-binary @- https://logshare.in
https://logshare.in/AbCdEf12345

The reply is the link on a single line, so it drops straight into scripts, chat or a ticket. Whoever opens it gets line numbers, ERROR and WARN highlighting and search. The content is deleted when the link expires: after 24 hours unless you choose otherwise.

Recipes

# A file
curl -T app.log https://logshare.in

# kubectl: the container that just crashed
kubectl logs api-7d9f -n prod --previous | curl --data-binary @- https://logshare.in

# docker: include stderr, last 15 minutes
docker logs web-1 --since 15m 2>&1 | curl --data-binary @- https://logshare.in

# systemd
journalctl -u nginx --since "1 hour ago" --no-pager | curl --data-binary @- https://logshare.in

# The last 300 lines around a problem
tail -n 300 /var/log/nginx/error.log | curl --data-binary @- https://logshare.in

# Plain text back from a link
curl https://logshare.in/raw/AbCdEf12345

Options

Add them to the address as a query string, for example https://logshare.in/?expiry=1h&lang=nginx.

Make it a shell command

Add this to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc, then pipe into logshare with an optional expiry:

logshare() { curl -sS --data-binary @- "https://logshare.in/?expiry=${1:-24h}"; }

kubectl logs deploy/api --tail=200 | logshare 1h
make test 2>&1 | logshare | pbcopy      # link straight to the clipboard on macOS

Windows, wget and CI

# PowerShell
Get-Content .\app.log -Raw | Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri https://logshare.in

# curl.exe ships with Windows 10 and later
curl.exe --data-binary "@app.log" https://logshare.in

# wget
wget -qO- --post-file=app.log https://logshare.in

# GitHub Actions: share the log of a failed step
- name: Share test log
  if: failure()
  run: curl -sS --data-binary @test.log "https://logshare.in/?expiry=7d"

Strip secrets first

Logs leak bearer tokens, database URLs and session cookies. Anyone with the link can read the share, so redact before you upload:

sed -E 's/(token|password|secret|authorization)([=:] *)[^ &"]+/\1\2[redacted]/Ig' app.log \
  | curl --data-binary @- "https://logshare.in/?expiry=1h"

For content that must not be readable with the link alone, use a Private Room: it opens only with a PIN.

Responses

Coming from termbin, ix.io or sprunge

ix.io and sprunge.us no longer respond (both returned 404 when we checked in October 2026), so scripts and tutorials that pipe into them now fail. Replace the upload line with curl --data-binary @- https://logshare.in. termbin still works over a raw nc connection on port 9999; LogShare uses HTTPS instead, so the content is encrypted in transit, and it adds an expiry you choose and a log-aware viewer.
