|
2021-04-30 05:28:21 +03:00
| 1. Create a short link to https://duckduckgo.com
2021-08-09 02:52:45 +03:00
| $ curl -d https://duckduckgo.com {{.URL}}
| {{.URL}}/502fb5543c36014f
|
| 2. Create a short link with a custom path
2021-08-09 02:52:45 +03:00
| $ curl -d https://duckduckgo.com {{.URL}}/ddg
| {{.URL}}/ddg
|
| 3. Create a short link to https://duckduckgo.com using a query string
2021-08-09 02:52:45 +03:00
| $ curl {{.URL}}?https://duckduckgo.com
| {{.URL}}/1acd382417199d7e
|
| 4. Create a short link with a custom path using a query string
| $ curl {{.URL}}/ddg?https://duckduckgo.com
| {{.URL}}/ddg
|
| 5. You can also pass an encoded URL:
| $ curl {{.URL}}?https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com
| {{.URL}}/1dc4cb37e81de396

| 6. Deleting a short link

| $ TMP=$(mktemp)
| $ # temp file will store header
| $ LINK=$(curl -sS {{.URL}} -d https://duckduckgo.com -D $TMP)
| $ # the link has been successfully created
| $ DEL=$(cat $TMP | grep -i delete-with | awk '{print$2}'| tr -d '\r')
| $ # deletion key is stored in 'X-Delete-With' header.
| $ curl $LINK
| &lt;a href=&quot;https://duckduckgo.com&quot;&gt;Permanent Redirect&lt;/a&gt;.
| $ # the link is working as expected
| $ curl $LINK -X DELETE -d $DEL

<p>
2021-08-09 02:52:45 +03:00
Please note: this is an example deployment. If you attempt to create a short
2021-04-30 05:28:21 +03:00
link here you will receive a 401 Unauthorized. If you like the examples above
and want to use this URL shortener you should self-host an instance. It's easy
to do (one of the design goals). Below are instructions detailing how.

<pre><code>| How to self-host:
2021-08-09 02:52:45 +03:00
|
| 1. Install dependencies
2021-08-09 02:52:45 +03:00
| a. The Go programming language
| <a href='https://golang.org/doc/install'>https://golang.org/doc/install</a>
| b. Git version control
| <a href='https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git'>https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git</a>
|
| * Most distributions should have Go and Git in their repositories,
| simply as go and git.
| Install these through your package manager, e.g.:
| # pacman -S go git
| # emerge --ask dev-lang/go dev-vcs/git
| # apt install go git
|
| 2. Fetch and compile the source code
| # env GO111MODULE=off go get git.swurl.xyz/swirl/link
|
| 3. Copy the binary to your binary directory
| # cp $GOPATH/bin/link /usr/local/bin/linkserv
| # # Named linkserv to prevent conflicts with GNU link
|
| 4. Create a directory to store your database:
| # mkdir -p /srv/link
|
| 5. (optional) Create a systemd service:
| # vim /etc/systemd/system/link.service
[Unit]
Description=link shortener
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/linkserv -url http://your.doma.in -db /srv/link/link.db -seed "secret"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
| * You can also create an equivalent for openrc, runit, etc.
|
| 6. (optional) Enable and start
|
| 7. Or, run it manually:
| # linkserv -url http://your.doma.in -db /srv/link/link.db -seed "secret"
|
2021-04-30 05:28:21 +03:00
| * The server is now running on localhost at port 8080.
2021-08-09 02:52:45 +03:00
| * If the SQLite database does not exist, it will be created.
| * All logging will be printed to standard error and standard output.
| Set up an NGINX reverse proxy:
|
| 1. Install dependencies
| * nginx
| * certbot
| * certbot nginx plugin
|
| * Most distributions should have these in their repositories:
| # pacman -S nginx certbot-nginx
| # emerge --ask www-servers/nginx app-crypt/certbot-nginx
| # apt install nginx python-certbot-nginx
|
| 2. Create the site file
| # vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/link
server {
rewrite_log on;
server_name your.doma.in;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080; # or whatever port you're running link on
}
listen 80;
}
|
| 3. Enable the site
| # ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-{available,enabled}/link
|
| 4. Enable https for the site
| # certbot --nginx -d your.doma.in
|
| 4. Enable and start nginx
| # systemctl enable --now nginx
| # # Or, if you already have nginx running, reload it:
| # systemctl reload nginx
|
| * Your site should now be running on https://your.doma.in.
| * To run in a subdirectory, simply put the proxy_pass in the subdirectory, e.g.:
location /shortener {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}
| * If you want to use another HTTP server, then create the equivalent for that HTTP server.
