lusd

lusd stands for little url shortening daemon and is what it says.

Requirements

• CouchDB Database
• python-configobj
• python-couchdb
• python-twisted

Setup

• Create database in CouchDB
• Add couchdb/access.json as _design/access document to your database
• Adapt config.cfg to your needs

Local startup

Start the daemon:

$ ./lusd

It will run on port 8080 per default. Browse to http://mydomain:8080/static/create.html to create short urls. Everything in the static/ subdir will be served by lusd, e.g. for your css etc.

If you'd like to run lusd behind a webserver as Apache, you could use this rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^\+(.+) http://localhost:8080/+$1 [P]
