SimpleLink#

A very performant and light (6mb in memory) link shortener and tracker. Written in Rust and React and uses Postgres.

Build#

From Source#

First configure .env.example and save it to .env

The project will not run withot DATABASE_URL set. (TODO add sqlite support)

#set api-domain to where you will be deploying the link shortener, eg: link.example.com, default is localhost:8080
git clone https://github.com/waveringana/simplelink && cd simplelink
./build.sh api-domain=localhost:8080
cargo run

Alternatively if you want a binary form

./build.sh --binary

then check /target/release for the binary named SimpleGit

docker build --build-arg API_URL=http://localhost:8080 -t simplelink .
docker run simplelink -p 8080:8080 \
    -e JWT_SECRET=change-me-in-production \

    simplelink
