The scratch docker image is Password: chhoto-url-demo-pass Note: - The database is cleared every 15 minutes, so don't use it for anything other than testing. - If you host a public instance of Chhoto URL, please let me know, and I'll add it to the README. Features - Shortens URLs of any length to a randomly generated link. - Automatic expiry of links after a chosen time. - (Optional) Allows you to specify the shortened URL instead of the generated one. (It's missing in a surprising number of alternatives.) - Opening the shortened URL in your browser will instantly redirect you to the correct long URL.
