# GocustomUrls This is a homespun implementation of the practice of [using custom import paths for go modules](https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Remote_import_paths). This package basically returns a html document with a prefilled meta tag ```html ``` There are ways to do this with [nginx](https://www.nirenjan.com/2019/golang-vanity-urls-in-nginx/) or [hugo](https://blog.jbowen.dev/2020/07/using-go-vanity-urls-with-hugo/) but I wanted to: * host on a subdomain * not muck up my ngnix config So I used golang for this project. ## Running ```sh $ ./artifacts/gocustomurls --conf ``` A sample config file is located [here](./sample/config.json) ## SystemD A sample systemd file is located [here](./sample/gocustomurls.service) ## Testing You can test with (a) [httpie](https://httpie.io/) ```sh $ http --body "https://{domain.name}/{package}?go-get=1" ...Truncated output ``` (b) With the go-get command ```sh $ go get -v -u jbowen.dev/cereal get "jbowen.dev/cereal": found meta tag get.metaImport{Prefix:"jbowen.dev/cereal", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://github.com/jamesbo13/cereal"} at //jbowen.dev/cereal?go-get=1 jbowen.dev/cereal (download) ``` ## TODOs * [x] Fix permission errors around opening the app.log and rules.json. * [x] Make the flags (config, rules) required instead of optional. ~~* [ ] Figure how to use logrotate (a linux utility)~~ * [x] Figure how to do log rotation as part of this app's function * [x] Add tests * [ ] Figure how to use `goreleaser` [here](https://nfpm.goreleaser.com/) to release deb and rpm packages (so basically split it, goreleaser for github and woodpecker for Woodpecker) * [ ] Update README.md
