chhamilton/golinks repository overview

⁠Background

This is a rebuild of https://hub.docker.com/r/kellegous/go⁠, but built against more recent versions of Alpine Linux and Golang. It also uses the Linuxserver.io⁠ Alpine base image so that it supports UID/GID environment variables.

See https://github.com/chhamilton/golinks⁠ for the source.

⁠Running the image

docker run -d --name golinks -p 8067:8067 -v <hostpath>:/data

The folder /data stores the database of shortened URLs. The service will run on port 8067.

⁠Configuration

The service will run with the user and group ID provided via the PUID and PGID environment variables, like all linuxserver.io based containers. This defaults to UID=911 and GID=911. Inside the container, the user and group name is abc.

The database is expected to be mounted at /data and read/writable by the appropriate user/group.

⁠Using the Service

Once you have it all setup, using it is pretty straight-forward.

⁠Create a new shortcut

Type go/edit/my-shortcut and enter the URL.

⁠Visit a shortcut

Type go/my-shortcut and you'll be redirected to the URL.

⁠Shorten a URL

Type go and enter the URL.
