# Go Vanity URLs

Go Vanity URLs is a simple Go server that allows you
to set custom import paths for your Go packages.
It also can run on Google App Engine.

## Quickstart

Install and run the binary:

```
$ go get -u github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/govanityurls
$ # update vanity.yaml
$ govanityurls
$ # open http://localhost:8080
```

### Google App Engine

Install [gcloud](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads) and install Go App Engine component:

```
$ gcloud components install app-engine-go
```

Setup a [custom domain](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/using-custom-domains-and-ssl) for your app.

Get the application:
```
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/govanityurls
cd govanityurls
```

Edit `vanity.yaml` to add any number of git repos. E.g., `customdomain.com/portmidi` will
serve the [https://github.com/rakyll/portmidi](https://github.com/rakyll/portmidi) repo.

```
paths:
/portmidi:
repo: https://github.com/rakyll/portmidi
```

You can add as many rules as you wish.

Deploy the app:

```
$ gcloud app deploy
```

That's it! You can use `go get` to get the package from your custom domain.

```
$ go get customdomain.com/portmidi
```

### Running in other environments

You can also deploy this as an App Engine Flexible app by changing the
`app.yaml` file:

```
runtime: go
env: flex
```

This project is a normal Go HTTP server, so you can also incorporate the
handler into larger Go servers.

## Configuration File

```
host: example.com
cache_max_age: 3600
paths:
/foo:
repo: https://github.com/example/foo
display: "https://github.com/example/foo https://github.com/example/foo/tree/master{/dir} https://github.com/example/foo/blob/master{/dir}/{file}#L{line}"
vcs: git
```



Key
Required
Description




cache_max_age
optional
The amount of time to cache package pages in seconds. Controls the max-age directive sent in the Cache-Control HTTP header.


host
optional
Host name to use in meta tags. If omitted, uses the App Engine default version host or the Host header on non-App Engine Standard environments. You can use this option to fix the host when using this service behind a reverse proxy or a custom dispatch file.


paths
required
Map of paths to path configurations. Each key is a path that will point to the root of a repository hosted elsewhere. The fields are documented in the Path Configuration section below.

### Path Configuration



Key
Required
Description




display
optional
The last three fields of the go-source meta tag. If omitted, it is inferred from the code hosting service if possible.


repo
required
Root URL of the repository as it would appear in go-import meta tag.


vcs
required if ambiguous
If the version control system cannot be inferred (e.g. for Bitbucket or a custom domain), then this specifies the version control system as it would appear in go-import meta tag. This can be one of git, hg, svn, or bzr.
