onepixel (1px.li)

Backend code for the 1px.li URL shortener service.

Development

Deploy everything (with Docker)

Simplest way to get it running is

1. make a ./data directory where your database will be stored
2. run docker-compose up

Run with hot-reload for local development

We will use docker to run an instance of database, but we will run the project using air locally

1. make a ./data directory where your database will be stored
2. run docker-compose up -d postgres
3. add 127.0.0.1 postgres to your /etc/hosts file ¹
4. run air in the root directory of the project ²

Note[1] This is because the server is configured to connect to host=postgres for the database.

Note[2]: you can also run go run src/main.go but it will not reload on changes
