importalias

GImportAlias is a webservice to manage vanity remote import paths as offerd by the go tool of the Go programming language. Its aim is to keep the necessary effort to maintain your aliases to a minimum.

Requirements

The whole apps works on a MongoDB database. Due to certain query techniques (like $elemMatch projections), MongoDB 2.2 is needed.

Quick start

For local development, I usually start the app like this:

$ go run *.go --hostname importalias.surmair.de -l localhost:80 \
  -m mongodb://localhost/importalias --auth-key github:XXXXX:XXXXX \
  --auth-key google:XXXXX:XXXXX --cookie-key XXXXX \
  --auth-config ./auth.config

• --hostname sets the hostname for which the static content will be served. Every other hostname will be assumed to be an alias request.
• --auth-key defines a <Provider>:<ClientID>:<Secret> tuple used for OAuth 2.0 login.
• --cookie-key is the 32-digit hex key used to sign the cookie based sessions.
• --auth-config contains the configuration (endpoints etc.) for OAuth providers.

For additional flags, set the --help flag.
