This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Schort on the latest version of OpenSUSE. Schort is a URL shortening service that allows you to create custom URLs and track clicks on them.
Before getting started, you should have the following:
Schort requires Node.js and npm to be installed on your system. To install these dependencies, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install nodejs npm
Clone the Schort repository from GitHub with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/sqozz/schort.git
This will create a new folder named schort in your current working directory.
Change to the schort directory and create a new file .env by copying the template file:
cd schort
cp .env.template .env
Next, open the .env file in a text editor and modify the values to suit your needs. For example, you may want to change the PORT setting to listen on a different port.
Install the project dependencies with npm:
npm install
Once the dependencies have finished installing, you can build the project with the following command:
npm run build
Finally, start the Schort server with the following command:
npm start
You should see output indicating that the server has started and is listening on the specified port.
You have successfully installed Schort on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use Schort to shorten URLs and track clicks on them. Happy shortening!
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!
