surt

surt (/suɔrt/, means black in Jutlandic) is a basic link shortener, written in Next.js.

Features:

• 🔥 Relatively fast
• ⭐ Clean and simple design
• 💳 No ads or promotional material
• 🖥️ Self-hostable with Docker

Getting Started

First, open a Mongo database server on your local machine:

# docker-compose
docker-compose up -d mongo

# docker
docker run --rm --name mongo --network=host mongo

If hosting Mongo on a remote machine or outside Docker, update .env.development to reflect it.

Second, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the landing page.

Self-hosting

surt has the option to be self-hosted on your own hardware, if you so choose. The recomended way of launching surt is via Docker. You don't need to be a Docker expert, just a simple understanding of the command-line.

To setup a complete instance of surt, start the container with Docker Compose:

docker compose up -d

With a little luck, the frontend should be accessible on http://localhost:3000.
