URL Shortener

This repository contains the code for a URL shortener that I'm developing as part of my live-streams on YouTube. As of now this project is far from complete, but at some point it will be "production-ready".

Database

We use Postgres as a database, to start it for local devlopment using Docker, run:

docker run --name url-shortener-postgres -it -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust  -e POSTGRES_DB=url -e POSTGRES_USER=db_user -p 5432:5432  postgres:alpine

To connect to the database using docker and psql, run:

docker exec -it url-shortener-postgres psql -U db_user url

To create the tables use the following SQL statement:

CREATE TABLE urls (
       id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
       token varchar(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
       url varchar(2048) UNIQUE NOT NULL
);
