GoShort

GoShort is a simple URL shortener written in Go. It's minimal and only uses a simple SQLite database in the background.

Configuration

Configuration can be done with a simple config.{json|yaml|toml} file in the working directory or a subdirectory config.

These are the required config values:

  • password: Password to create or delete short links
  • shortUrl: The short base URL (without trailing slash!)
  • defaultUrl: The default URL to which should be redirected when no slug is specified

These are optional config values:

  • dbPath: Relative path where the database should be saved

See the example-config.yaml file for an example configuration.

To create a new short link, open "shortUrl + /s?url= + URL to shorten" in the browser. If you want, you can append &slug= with the preferred slug.

To delete a short link, open "shortUrl + /d?slug= + slug to delete" in the browser.
