glortener #

a simple gleam link shortener using a lustre server component and sqlight + cake. user-friendly slugs can be generated automatically, or you can input them manually.

development #

devenv shell                  # enter devenv shell to install all the required packages
dbmate up                     # create sqlite db and run migrations
gleam run -m tailwind/install # install tailwind cli
gleam run -m tailwind/run     # build CSS
gleam run                     # run the project

deployment #

the project needs the following environment variables defined:

• SECRET_KEY_BASE: needed by web server for signing and encryption
• DATABASE_URL: path to the sqlite database. it should include the sqlite: prefix if you intend to use dbmate
• BASE_URL: the base URL, where you plan to serve the application from

since this application is intended to be minimal, i suggest handling authentication at the network level:

• the /create route should be protected to prevent unauthorized users from creating or deleting links
• the /:slug routes should be publicly accessible, so they can be shared with anyone
