`Short{Paste}` is open-source software written in Go and VueJS. It is a minimalistic shortener that combines three things that need shortening: links, files, and text. It is a self-hosted alternative to many popular services like paste bin and using dropbox to send a file to someone quickly.
The Go backend handles saving files, links, and text in DB and filesystem as needed, while the Vue UI provides a pretty view for you to add and review content. Added bonus, it tracks hit counts too!
## Deployment
The whole backend packages to a single binary, and I bundled the app as a docker container based on `alpine` favored for its tiny size. To run this yourself, execute the command below.
```bash
docker run -d \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v ${PWD}/shortpaste/:/root/.shortpaste \
adyanth/shortpaste:latest
```
The command will publish the application on port `8080`, making it available on `http://localhost:8080/` and use the bind-mounted folder called `shortpaste` in your current working directory to save the SQLite DB, the files, and texts published.
If you prefer docker-compose, here is an [example deployment](https://git.adyanth.site/DockerComposeApps/shortpaste).
## Build it yourself
With docker, you can build this yourself. A `Dockerfile` is provided at the root of this repository.
It uses a multi-stage build consisting of three stages:
- Go Build : Builds a statically linked Go binary containing the backend API server and the static server.
- Vue Build : Builds the VueJS UI to generate a `dist` folder with resources.
- Container : Alpine container where the binary and `dist` are copied and served.
## Environment Variables
You can customize the behavior using environment variables. Here is a list of configurable parameters.
| Environment Variable | Default Value | Behaviour |
| -------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `SP_BIND_ADDR` | `":8080"` | Sets the bind-address inside the container. |
| `PORT` | | If set, it overrides the `SP_BIND_ADDR` to use the given port on all interfaces (support for Heroku deployment) |
| `SP_STORAGE_PATH` | `"~/.shortpaste"` | Sets the location for saving data inside the container. |
| `SP_307_REDIRECT` | | Setting this to anything causes a 307 redirect to be sent instead of showing the landing page for shortened links. |
| `SP_USERNAME` | `admin` | Sets the username to login to the UI (only applies to creating resources, links will still work fine) |
| `SP_PASSWORD` | `admin` | Sets the password to login to the UI (only applies to creating resources, links will still work fine) |
| `SP_NOAUTH` | | Setting this to anything bypasses authentication for creating resources. |
