A mini URL shortener which I did as a project for fun.

⚠️ Since this is a fun little weekend-project, it is not actively maintained and not intended for production use. There might be security vulnerabilities which I am not fixing. Host at your own risk.

How to set up

1. Clone or download the repo.
2. Run npm i in the repo folder.
3. Change the config to your needs (see section below).
4. Run npm start and enjoy!

Config

Alter the values in the config.json. These are the options you can set:

• baseURL: The URL the redirection will be performed on. Must have a trailing /.
• appPort: The port the content will be served on. Default is 8151
• cooldown: Per-IP Cooldown for generating links in seconds. Default is 60, that means an IP is allowed one request within 60 seconds.
• expiration: For how long a link will be kept. Default is 24 Hours.
