purl-rs

A simple URL-shortener in Rust.

I created this URL-shortener because it turned out that my previous one, purl, which was written i perl, was impractical to run in a chroot environment.

This new one, written in Rust, has far fewer dependencies to worry about in a chroot environment. It is written as a replacement for the old purl, and uses CGI.

I use Nginx as my web-proxy, and run the cgi-binaries through slowcgi(8). See nginx.conf for example-configuration.
