sho.rest

A simple URL shortener built to be fast and easy.

Supports up to 262144 unique three-character links, guarantees absolutely zero collisions!

To deploy please first ensure you either have these variables in your enviroment or in your .env file.

DATABASE_URL=<yourdatabase>
PORT=<yourport>

After you made sure these variables exist, run this to build the frontend.

sho.rest does not support npm at this point of time, but I doubt it's too hard to set up anyway.

$ yarn postinstall

After building the frontend, build the underlying server using:

$ cargo build --release

Run the binary executable created by cargo in target using:

$ ./target/release/shorest

View the results at http://localhost:<yourport> in your browser of choice!

Have fun!
