⁠GoSharp

A simple Go short link service, written in .NET Core.

This is still work in progress, but should work just fine.

⁠Setup

To setup, you might need a combination of an A-record, and a local search domain to respond correctly. You could set it up to react to "go", and forward it to the service.

You should probably research it some more yourself.

⁠Usage

Once you have set it up, you can add/edit a short URL with go/edit/some-short-url, or just go (pun intended) to go/ and it will create a random address for you. If you go to an address that doesn't exist, it will ask where you want it to go.

To be redirected to the URL, visit go/some-short-url.

If you need to see all links created, and how many times they have been visited, see go/links.

⁠Run in Docker

To run inside of a Docker container, build it from Dockerfile (or docker-compose.yml), and run it.

Storage of saved links will, by default, be stored at data. This can be changed by setting the DATA environment variable, like docker run -e DATA="/otherdatapath" gosharp. Use this to mount a volume to persist the links.

The container port is 80.
