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, update 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.

Authentication

The preferred authentication method is Basic Authentication. If you try to create, modify or delete a short link, in the browser a popup will appear asking for username and password. Enter just the password you configured. Alternatively you can append a URL query parameter password with your configured password.

Usage

You can either create, update or delete short links using a browser by entering the short URL and the path for the method. Or you can make a HTTP POST request with the parameters.

  • Create a new short link: /s
    • url: URL to shorten
    • (optional) slug: the preferred slug
  • Update a short link: /u
    • slug: slug to update
    • new: new long URL
  • Delete a short link: /d
    • slug: slug to delete
