A simple selfhosted URL shortener with no unnecessary features.
Don't worry if you see no activity for a long time. I consider this project to be complete, not dead. I'm unlikely to add any new features, but I will try and fix every bug you report.
If you feel like a feature is missing, please let me know by creating an issue using the "feature request" template.
I've looked at a couple popular URL shorteners, however they either have unnecessary features, or they didn't have all the features I wanted.

finished. Without it, gradle would still be running in the background
in order to speed up future builds.

-d simply-shorten:latestdocker-composeThere is a sample docker-compose.yml file in this repository. It contains
everything needed for a basic install. You can use it as a base, modifying
it as needed. Run it with
docker-compose up -dAs requested in #5, it is possible to completely disable the authentication. This if not recommended, as it will allow anyone to create new links and delete old ones. This might not seem like a bad idea, until you have hundreds of links pointing to illegal content. Since there are no logs, it's impossible to prove that those links aren't created by you.
If you still want to do it, then you need to set an environment variable to an exact value:
