# Just Short It (damnit)! The most KISS single user URL shortener there is. ![](https://img.shields.io/github/license/miawinter98/just-short-it?color=green&style=for-the-badge) ![](https://img.shields.io/github/forks/miawinter98/just-short-it?label=github%20forks&logo=github&style=for-the-badge) ![](https://img.shields.io/github/stars/miawinter98/just-short-it?label=github%20stars&color=yellow&logo=github&style=for-the-badge) ![](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/miawinter/just-short-it?color=informational&logo=docker&style=for-the-badge) ![](https://img.shields.io/docker/v/miawinter/just-short-it/latest?logo=docker&label=latest&style=for-the-badge) ![](https://img.shields.io/docker/v/miawinter/just-short-it/latest-alpine?logo=docker&label=latest%20alpine&style=for-the-badge) ## To simply run Just Short It in a container run: ```shell docker run -e JSI_BaseUrl= \ -e JSI_Account__Username= \ -e JSI_Account__Password= \ -p 80:8080 \ miawinter/just-short-it:latest ``` ## In Docker Compose: ```yaml services: just-short-it: container_name: JustShortIt image: miawinter/just-short-it:latest ports: - "80:8080" environment: - "JSI_BaseUrl=" - "JSI_Account__Username=" - "JSI_Account__Password=" - "JSI_CUSTOMIZATION__GENERATEDIDLENGTH=6" # optional, range 2 to 16, default: 6 ``` ## Redis By default Just Short It saves all the redirects in a in-memory distributed Cache, which get's lost whenever the container restarts, so if you want to keep your redirects you wanna use redis. You can configure the connection to redis using the environment variables `JSI_Redis__ConnectionString` and optional `JSI_Redis__InstanceName` (default is "JustShortIt"). If you want to run both with compose, the most simple setup looks like this: ```yaml services: just-short-it: container_name: JustShortIt image: miawinter/just-short-it:latest ports: - "80:8080" environment: - "JSI_BaseUrl=" - "JSI_Account__Username=" - "JSI_Account__Password=" - "JSI_Redis__ConnectionString=redis,password=" depends_on: - redis redis: container_name: Redis image: redis:alpine environment: - "REDIS_PASSWORD=" volumes: - redis:/data volumes: redis: ``` There you go, now your urls survive a restart! # Https Just Short It! is not supporting Https, I reconmend using a reverse Proxy for hosting that handles SSL. I personally have experience with two types of reverse proxies here: caddy and nginx-proxy. ## Caddy The easiest way to get https with a reverse proxy is [Caddy](https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy). ```yaml services: # Just Short It just-short-it: container_name: JustShortIt image: miawinter/just-short-it:latest environment: - "JSI_BaseUrl=" - "JSI_Account__Username=" - "JSI_Account__Password=" - "JSI_Redis__ConnectionString=redis,password=" depends_on: - redis redis: container_name: Redis image: redis:alpine environment: - "REDIS_PASSWORD=" volumes: - redis:/data caddy: container_name: Caddy image: caddy:latest ports: - "80:80" - "443:443" - "443:443/udp" volumes: - caddy_sites: /sites - caddy_data: /data - caddy_config:/config - ./Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile volumes: redis: caddy_sites: caddy_data: caddy_config: ``` Then you need a `Caddyfile`: ``` { tls reverse_proxy JustShortIt:8080 } ``` The tls property is the email used for let's encrypt, there you would be notified if a certificate is about to expire (which won't happen as long as caddy is running, because it automatically requests new ones before they do). The domain should only be [subdomain?].[domain].[tls], if you prefix it with http or https caddy will only support that, but without this caddy responds to both and will automatically redirect from http to https, as well as take care of the https certificates. ## nginx-prodxy jwilders [nginx-proxy](https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy) togehter with [acme-companion](https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion). Here is an Example of how to use Just Short It! togehter with nginx-proxy: ```yaml services: # Just Short It just-short-it: container_name: JustShortIt image: miawinter/just-short-it:latest environment: - "JSI_BaseUrl=" - "JSI_Account__Username=" - "JSI_Account__Password=" - "JSI_Redis__ConnectionString=redis,password=" environment: - "VIRTUAL_HOST=" - "VIRTUAL_PORT=8080" - "LETSENCRYPT_HOST=" depends_on: - redis - acme-companion redis: container_name: Redis image: redis:alpine environment: - "REDIS_PASSWORD=" volumes: - redis:/data # nginx-proxy with acme-companion nginx-proxy: container_name: nginx-proxy restart: unless-stopped image: jwilder/nginx-proxy:alpine ports: - "80:80" - "443:443" volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro - certs:/etc/nginx/certs:ro - conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d - vhost:/etc/nginx/vhost.d - html:/usr/share/nginx/html environment: - "DHPARAM_GENERATION=false" # Not sure you need this actually - "DISABLE_ACCESS_LOGS" # Always nice to comply with GDPR acme-companion: container_name: acme-companion restart: unless-stopped image: nginxproxy/acme-companion volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro - certs:/etc/nginx/certs:rw - conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d - vhost:/etc/nginx/vhost.d - html:/usr/share/nginx/html - /etc/acme.sh:/etc/acme.sh environment: - "DEFAULT_EMAIL=" - "NGINX_PROXY_CONTAINER=nginx-proxy" depends_on: - nginx volumes: # Just Short It! redis: # Proxy certs: conf: vhost: html: ``` # License and Attribution Just Short It by [Mia Winter](https://miawinter.de/) is licensed under the [MIT License](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License).
