workerd-docker

A simple URL shortener implemented using Workers (workerd) running in Docker/Kubernetes.

See this blog post for some details.

Forked and modifed sample from https://github.com/WalshyDev/workerd-example

Running

To run simply install the dependencies and run workerd :)

Requests are served at http://localhost:8080 (can be changed in config.capnp). Update UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL to your Upstash redis details, or to any Redis server credentials with a different provider.

# Install the dependencies (including workerd)
npm i

# Bundle your Worker and start Workerd serving the Worker
npm run dev

Building Docker Image

npm run build

docker build . -t redirect

# Run the image
docker run -d --rm -p 49160:8080 redirect

Testing

Once the Worker is running we can test it!

To create a redirect do a POST to /create like so:

$ curl -X POST -d '{"slug": "test", "destination": "https://pmbanugo.me"}' http://localhost:8080/create

Then to test the redirect simply send a GET request to the slug like so:

$ curl -i http://localhost:8080/test
