A very performant and light (6mb in memory) link shortener and tracker. Written in Rust and React and uses Postgres.

Build

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

The project will not run withot DATABASE_URL set. (TODO add sqlite support)

#set api-domain to where you will be deploying the link shortener, eg: link.example.com, default is localhost:8080
git clone https://github.com/waveringana/simplelink && cd simplelink
./build.sh api-domain=localhost:8080
cargo run

Alternatively if you want a binary form

./build.sh --binary

then check /target/release for the binary named SimpleGit
