Simple URL shortener

A very simple URL shortener, which is easy to configure and quite speedy. Later it is planned to add some analytics.

If you have any issues you can contact me on discord, valkyrie_pilot#2707, or via email valk@vky.one

You can edit links at /simpleshortener/ on the domain you use to host it.

Install

Create this config file:

# Port to run SimpleShortener on. Can be overridden with the `PORT` environment variable.
port = 24529
# Where to keep files
database = "/etc/simpleshortener/links.bincode"
# A key:value list of username:sha256-hashed passwords
users = { admin = "fc8252c8dc55839967c58b9ad755a59b61b67c13227ddae4bd3f78a38bf394f7" }

# Uncomment to enable TLS
# This also requires the TLS-enabled binary:
# if the default binary is downloaded, TLS is entirely ignored
# [tls]
# port = 443
# certfile = "/path/to/cert.pem"
# keyfile = "/path/to/key.pem"

then run with ./target/bin/simpleshortener /path/to/config.toml
