Blazingly fast self-hosted URL shortener
Short links, self-hosted.
Chhoto (ছোট,
pronunciation) URL is a lightweight URL shortener written in Rust. It is built
for simple self-hosted deployment and provides the core tools needed
to create and manage short links on your own infrastructure.
It's written in async Rust, using
Actix Web as the
backend. The frontend is written in html,
css, and vanilla javascript. Links are
stored in an
SQLite database.
It's distributed in a tiny container image (<4.5 MB for the
scratch image and <8.5 MB for the
alpine image, both compressed), and uses <10 MB of
RAM under regular load.
It’s free and open source, released under the
MIT license,
maintained by
SinTan1729.
No tracking. No bullshit. Blazingly fast.
