URL Shortener built on top of WAFer

Longs		https://longs-longs.hotbed.io/
Welcome to Lon.gs, the url shortner.

Lon.gs is built upon WAFer, a light flyweight platform for creating lightning fast and scalable network applications using the C language.

Lon.gs is built with SQLite, a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine, so no database setup is necessary.

Lon.gs will happily do 10K concurrent connections on an AWS t2.nano, where our website is being served from.

You can configure the app using the following environmental variables:

Option	Defualt Value
PORT	4242
BASE_URL	lon.gs
DB_PATH	URL_Records.db
HASH_LENGTH	5

Docker

You may use our official image on Docker Hub.

docker docker pull riolet/longs
docker run -p 80:80 riolet/longs

This repo includes a Dockerfile, which allows it to be built into a docker container.

docker build --tag=longs .
docker run -p 80:80 longs

This will start Lon.gs listening on port 80 on your Docker net IP
