Schort is a powerful URL shortener that makes it easy to manage your links. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Schort on Manjaro.
Before we start, let’s ensure that your system is up to date. To do this, open a terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all the packages installed on your system.
To clone the Schort repository, we need to install Git. To do this, execute the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
To clone the Schort repository, execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/sqozz/schort.git
This will create a new directory called schort that contains all the files we need to run Schort.
Schort requires Node.js and npm to be installed on your system. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
Now that we have Node.js and npm installed, we can install the dependencies required to run Schort. To do this, navigate to the schort directory and execute the following command:
npm install
This may take a few minutes to complete.
Before we can run Schort, we need to create a configuration file. To do this, copy the example configuration file:
cp config.example.yml config.yml
Then, open the configuration file in your preferred text editor:
nano config.yml
Edit the rootUrl and database fields to match your desired setup.
To start Schort, navigate to the schort directory and execute:
npm run start
If everything is configured correctly, you should see output indicating that Schort is running.
You can now access Schort by opening a web browser and navigating to the URL specified in your configuration file. By default, Schort will listen on port 3000.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
