jjv.sh: my personal URL shortener for my URL shortening needs

📅Aug 13, 2021

jjv.sh is my personal URL shortener. It stands for Johan J. Vandegriff’s short links. Here are some example short links:

• jjv.sh/music - all the music me and my brother have made
• jjv.sh/boggle - play my boggle game online with friends
• jjv.sh/about - a bit about me
• jjv.sh/lucy - pictures of the cute doggo
• jjv.sh/charlie - pictures of another cute doggo
• jjv.sh/carl - a chatbot
• jjv.sh/resume - my online resume

How does it work, you ask? It uses caddy with some basic redirect rules:

/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
