How to Install GoLinks on Debian Latest

GoLinks is a small website app that allows you to create custom shortcuts for your URLs. Here's a tutorial on how to install it on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Debian Latest server instance
• The ability to use SSH
• Basic command-line knowledge

Step 1: Install Git

The first step to installing GoLinks is to install Git. Git is a version control system, and we'll use it to clone the GoLinks repository from its source. To install Git, run the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

Step 2: Clone the GoLinks Repository

Now that you have Git installed, you can clone the GoLinks repository from its source. Run the following command to clone the repository to your server:

git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/golinks.git

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Next, you need to install the dependencies required to run GoLinks. In the root directory of the cloned repository, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install make g++ libsqlite3-dev

Step 4: Build the GoLinks Server

Now that you have all dependencies installed, you can build the GoLinks server. In the root directory of the cloned repository, run the following command to build the server:

make

Step 5: Run the GoLinks Server

Once the build process is complete, you can run the GoLinks server. In the root directory of the cloned repository, run the following command:

./golinks

By default, the server will listen on port 8000. You can access the GoLinks homepage by visiting: http://localhost:8000

Conclusion

That's it! You now have GoLinks installed on your Debian Latest server. You can now create custom shortcuts for your URLs and share them with others in your organization.
