PasswordPusher Hosting

1. Open your pod URL. If your instance requires an account, register or sign in using the controls on the page.
2. Enter the password or text you want to share, choose the expiration time and allowed views, and optionally add a passphrase.
3. Create the push and send the generated secret URL to the recipient. If you set a passphrase, send it separately.

Upstream allows anonymous push creation by default; an administrator can require a login without requiring recipients to create accounts. The push guide explains link creation, expiration and audit history.

No. PikaPods sets up and runs PasswordPusher for you, including OS and app updates and HTTPS. You won't touch Docker or a server. Your files and database stay accessible if you ever want to move them elsewhere.

Send and open secret links in a web browser, including on your phone. For scripts and terminal use, the official pwpush CLI supports custom self-hosted instance URLs; choose your pod URL rather than a pwpush.com endpoint. The JSON API documentation is available for your own integrations.

The pod runs the open-source edition, separate from paid pwpush.com plans and the licensed Self-Hosted Pro product. Basic secret sharing uses your instance, not a paid pwpush.com account. Do not assume hosted-plan or Pro-only features are included; see the edition comparison.

Account confirmation, password-reset and unlock emails are opt-in in this release. They need working SMTP settings and PWP__ENABLE_USER_ACCOUNT_EMAILS enabled. Your mail provider may require a separate account or charge for delivery; follow the self-hosted account and mail settings.

Set up incremental backups to S3 in your pod settings for automatic nightly snapshots, or download your files and database yourself. We keep whole-server backups for server failures, but they aren't a per-pod restore service, so your own backup is what protects your data.

No. Sensitive text is encrypted in the server's database, but PasswordPusher does not provide client-side encryption with keys known only to the sender and recipient. The server processes the secret, so this is not a zero-knowledge sharing service. The security documentation explains the encryption model and its limits, including the different storage behavior for file uploads.

No. You add prepaid credit and your pods are billed by the hour from that balance, rounded up to full hours. There are no contracts or minimum terms: delete a pod anytime and billing stops. Optional automatic top-ups keep your pods running without manual payments.

You do. And you're in full control. If you ever want to download, migrate, edit or delete your data, just enable file and database access for your pod and it will be right there.
