Easily Deploy a Short Link Website with Myurls

Introduction:

Myurls is an open-source short link project, implemented with Go 1.20 and Redis, and easy to deploy.

Preview:

Deployment Method:

Step One: Update Sources

Ubuntu/Debian:

apt update -y && apt upgrade -y    

Centos:

yum update -y && yum upgrade -y   

Step Two: Install and Configure Docker

Install Docker:

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sudo sh ./get-docker.sh

Start Docker:

sudo systemctl start docker

Set Docker to Start Automatically at Boot:

sudo systemctl enable docker

Step Three: Install Docker Compose

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.20.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Step Four: Download docker-compose.yml

1. Create a directory:

   mkdir myurls && cd myurls/

2. Download docker-compose.yml:

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stilleshan/dockerfiles/main/myurls/docker-compose.yml

3. Modify its contents:

   nano docker-compose.yml

   Change MYURLS_DOMAIN to your domain
   Change MYURLS_TTL to the short link expiration time (unit: days)
   Change the left part of ports:- "8002:8002" to an unoccupied port

4. Save and exit:
   Use Ctrl+X/Command+X

   Step Five: Install and Run the myurls Container

   docker-compose up -d

   After deployment, you can access "myurls" at http://<your-ip>:8002 (modify the port number to the one you entered)

   Step Six: Reverse Proxy to Domain

   Here, a very simple method is used: Origin Rules provided by Cloudflare
   Configuration is as follows:
   
   Change Field to Hostname, Value to the full domain selected, Rewrite to the port filled in earlier
   
   Remember to resolve your subdomain to the server IP:
   Use an A record, Name as domain prefix, Content as server address
