Link Minifier

A simple application to help minify links for an organization. Simply deploy this to your server and link it to your short url and watch the magic happen.

Simple Installation on server:

Terminal window 1:

You need to have redis-server to run this locally.

redis-server

ensure it's connected and keep this terminal open, or you can also run

redis-server --daemonize yes

if you want to kill the instance running in the background run:

kill $(ps aux | grep redis-server | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')

Terminal window 2:

Create your username and password.

redis-cli
select 1
set [username] [password]

You can close this terminal with a Ctrl - C command.

Terminal window 3:

git clone https://github.com/mahirk/minify.git
npm install
node app.minify.js

this will run the application. You want to keep this open. Alternatively, you can dockerize the service and run it or run it using the forever module on npm .

npm install forever
forever start app.minify.js
