# Go URL Shortener
This is a small, simplistic example of creating a URL shortener in Go.
## Requirements
To use this application, you will need the following:
- [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) **or** PHP 8.1 with the [PDO](https://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.installation.php) and [PDO_PGSQL](https://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-pgsql.php) extensions and [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) 14 or above.
- Your favourite IDE or code editor
- [Go](https://go.dev/dl/) 1.19 or above
## Usage
First, clone the project to a directory on your local machine by running the following command:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:settermjd/go-url-shortener.git go-url-shortener
```
Then, start the application, using Docker Compose by running the following command in the top-level directory of the project.
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
```
**Note:** The first time that you run the command, if you don’t have one or more images in your local Docker cache, then they have to be downloaded.
This shouldn't take too long, allowing for the speed of your internet connection.
**New to Docker Compose and want a hand getting started?**
Then grab a copy of my free book: [Deploy with Docker Compose](https://deploywithdockercompose.com/).
