Anonish URL shortener

Anonish is a private URL shortener, with absolutely no logging. Check it out at https://anoni.sh.

Features

• Create a shortened URL with a custom shortening "key"
• Instant redirect via status-codes, no JS redirecting
• Doesn't save any logs for user interaction
• Rate limiting, default max creations per IP per hour is 10 (All information is saved in volatile memory, nothing written to disk)
• Anonymous analytics (timestamp only) for keeping track of usage on a day by day basis

Tech

Anonish uses a couple open source repositories to work properly:

• mux - A powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers
• autocert - Automated letsencrypt SSL Certs
• skv - Super easy to use key-value store

Installation

Installation is simple, first install golang version 1.13+

git clone https://github.com/AmIJesse/Anonish-URL-shortener
cd Anonish-URL-shortener
nano main.go

Edit the line that contains

	baseURL    = "https://anoni.sh/"
	htmlTitle  = "Anoni.sh URL Shortener"
	htmlHeader = "anoni.sh"

and change their respective values, save the file

go get
go run main.go

While running it this way, it will only run while your current termial session is active, I recommend building the binary and creating a service for it, or running in in a tmux/screen session. You can build it wilth

go build
