Just Short It (damnit)!

The most KISS single user URL shortener there is.

To simply run Just Short It in a container run:

docker run -e JSI_BaseUrl=<your-url> \
           -e JSI_Account__Username=<your-username> \
           -e JSI_Account__Password=<your-password> \
           -p 80:8080
           miawinter/just-short-it:latest

In Docker Compose:

version: '3.4'

services:
  just-short-it:
    container_name: JustShortIt
    image: miawinter/just-short-it:latest
    ports:
      - "80:8080"
    environment:
      - "JSI_BaseUrl=<your-url>"
      - "JSI_Account__Username=<your-username>"
      - "JSI_Account__Password=<your-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:

version: '3.4'

services:
  just-short-it:
    container_name: JustShortIt
    image: miawinter/just-short-it:latest
    ports:
      - "80:8080"
    environment:
      - "JSI_BaseUrl=<your-url>"
      - "JSI_Account__Username=<your-username>"
      - "JSI_Account__Password=<your-password>"
      - "JSI_Redis__ConnectionString=redis,password=<your-redis-password>"
    depends_on:
      - redis
  redis:
    container_name: Redis
    image: redis:alpine
    environment:
      - "REDIS_PASSWORD=<your-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 can highly reconmend jwilders nginx-proxy togehter with acme-companion, there is no easier way to get a reverse proxy with automatic certificate renewal.

Here is an Example of how to use Just Short It! togehter with nginx-proxy:

version: '3.4'

services:
  # Just Short It
  just-short-it:
    container_name: JustShortIt
    image: miawinter/just-short-it:latest
    environment:
      - "JSI_BaseUrl=<your-url>"
      - "JSI_Account__Username=<your-username>"
      - "JSI_Account__Password=<your-password>"
      - "JSI_Redis__ConnectionString=redis,password=<your-redis-password>"
    environment:
      - "VIRTUAL_HOST=<your-url>"
      - "VIRTUAL_PORT=8080"
      - "LETSENCRYPT_HOST=<your-url>"
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - acme-companion
  redis:
    container_name: Redis
    image: redis:alpine
    environment:
      - "REDIS_PASSWORD=<your-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=<your-email>"
      - "NGINX_PROXY_CONTAINER=nginx-proxy"
    depends_on:
      - nginx

volumes:
  # Just Short It!
  redis:
  # Proxy
