The Settings page lives at /settings. By default, only the admin account can access it. Any other user needs the ALL permission. The page has these tabs: Admin, Storage, Backup & Restore, Theme, Integrations, Playground.

​
Admin

Change the admin username and password. When you save, the new value is stored in the settings table, and the admin login immediately starts using the updated credentials.
  • The UI warns that password changes may require a restart, depending on your deployment.
  • This admin account is settings-based, not a normal database-backed user.

​
Storage

Controls: When content exceeds the overflow threshold, the paste metadata stays in the database and the content is written to a text file in the configured storage path.

​
Backup & Restore

​
Personal content backup

Download All My Pastes (.zip) downloads a ZIP of your own pastes only, including pastes.json and per-paste content files under contents/. You must be logged in.

​
Import pastes

Upload one pastes.json file. During import:
  • SunPaste parses the JSON and inserts each paste
  • If a slug already exists, a new unique slug is generated
  • The result reports imported items, conflicts, and errors
Imported records keep the ownerUsername stored in the JSON. They are not reassigned to the user who performs the import.

​
Admin: system-wide backup

Full JSON Dump and Full ZIP Backup export every paste in the instance, including private content.
System-wide backups include private content. Use them carefully.

​
Theme

Controls the app appearance:
  • Light/dark theme switch
  • Site name
  • Primary, accent, background, body text, primary text, secondary text, error and success colors
  • Reset to Defaults
Most changes apply immediately and are saved to settings.
Reset to Defaults restores the site name to SunCore (not SunPaste) and deletes custom color settings so the built-in defaults are used again.

​
Integrations

This tab is a shortcut to the /Integrations page.

​
Playground

Controls sharing and privacy for the home page and shared links. Enable Private Mode (links require authentication) When enabled:
  • Anonymous users cannot save/share from /
  • Public and unlisted viewer links require login
  • Raw-style shared links require login
  • API-style shared access requires login
When disabled, public and unlisted sharing works for anonymous visitors again.

​
Burn After Read (global)

Force Burn-After-Read pastes When enabled, all new pastes are one-time pastes and users cannot opt out. When disabled, creators choose burn-after-read per paste.
