SimpleLink

A very performant and light (2MB in memory) link shortener and tracker. Written in Rust and React and uses Postgres or SQLite.

How to Run

From Docker

docker run -p 8080:8080 \
    -e JWT_SECRET=change-me-in-production \
    -e [email protected] \
    -e SIMPLELINK_PASS=your-secure-password \
    -v simplelink_data:/data \
    ghcr.io/waveringana/simplelink:v2.2

Environment Variables

• JWT_SECRET: Required. Used for JWT token generation
• SIMPLELINK_USER: Optional. If set along with SIMPLELINK_PASS, creates an admin user on first run
• SIMPLELINK_PASS: Optional. Admin user password
• DATABASE_URL: Optional. Postgres connection string. If not set, uses SQLite
• INITIAL_LINKS: Optional. Semicolon-separated list of initial links in format "url,code;url2,code2"
• SERVER_HOST: Optional. Default: "127.0.0.1"
• SERVER_PORT: Optional. Default: "8080"

If SIMPLELINK_USER and SIMPLELINK_PASS are not passed, an admin-setup-token is pasted to the console and as a text file in the project root.

From Docker Compose

Edit the docker-compose.yml file. It comes included with a PostgreSQL db configuration.

Build

From Source

First configure .env.example and save it to .env

git clone https://github.com/waveringana/simplelink && cd simplelink
./build.sh
cargo run

Alternatively for a binary build:

./build.sh --binary

then check /target/release for the binary named SimpleGit

docker build -t simplelink .
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
    -e JWT_SECRET=change-me-in-production \
    -e [email protected] \
    -e SIMPLELINK_PASS=your-secure-password \
    -v simplelink_data:/data \
    simplelink

From Docker Compose

Adjust the included docker-compose.yml to your liking; it includes a postgres config as well.
