Compiling for x86_64 linux on mac is difficult.
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
brew tap SergioBenitez/osxct
brew install x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_LINKER=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
an ALPHABET environment variable for what characters would be used in generated urls
node
Welcome to Node.js v16.13.1.
Type ".help" for more information.
> str = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789'
a TOKEN environment variable is the authorization bearer token.
You can use openssl to generate an unguessable one
openssl rand -base64 33

a PORT variable supplies what port to use upon start up, by default 8080.
It should bind to all interfaces by binding to 0.0.0.0
a DATA variable supplies what json file should be used to store data.
This is a very simple server, it will rewrite the json file every time new links are added.
a INCREMENT_SECRET variable makes the next short url unguessable
You can use openssl to generate the secret url
openssl rand -base64 33

This application supports a .env file. You can reference and copy it to .env with your values.
To create a short link, PUT to / on the host with the bearer token.
The body should be plaintext and the entire body is the redirect location.
curl --request PUT \
--url https://cdyn.dev/ \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer K9h69DfTsTjVPGUrgg2o3fv5hjIglNoIfci1+kMFfyAg' \
--header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
--data https://github.com/cendyne/sh
The response body will be the path, so a response with /V will mean that the host will redirect to the value https://github.com/cendyne/sh when visited at /V. Thus https://cdyn.dev/V will redirect to https://github.com/cendyne/sh
This project was originally made to enable QR small QR codes. Unfortunately, I cannot feasibly get a domain short enough for micro qr codes, and most device camera apps do not natively recognize micro qr codes.
echo -n "http://cdyn.dev/V" | qrencode -t png -l L -o qr.png
This project has been replaced by https://github.com/cendyne/short-url, a cloudflare worker based solution The API is a little different but it works on similar principals.
