shorturl - A self-hosted URL shortener web app and service
shorturl is a web app that allows you to create short urls of much longer more complex urls for easier sharing or embedding.
Installation
Source
Due to the necessity of the way assets are handled if you are building/installing from source and intend to run outside of the source tree you need to do something like this:
$ go get github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice/rice
$ go get github.com/prologic/shorturl
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/prologic/shorturl
$ rice embed-go
$ go build
Usage
Run shorturl:
$ shorturl
Then visit: http://localhost:8000/
Configuration
By default shorturl stores urls in urls.db
in the local directory. This can
be configured with the -dbpath /path/to/urls.db
option.
shorturl also displays an absolute url after creating and uses the value of
-baseurl
(default: ""
) for display purposes. This is useful for copying
and pasting the shorturl.
Data Storage
Data is currently stored in a Bolt embedded database configured via the -dbpath
option.
