YOURLS is a self-hosted link shortener service written in PHP.

# Installation

Install the yourlsAUR package.

# Setup

A MySQL database and user are required, to complete the config file at `/etc/webapps/yourls/config.php`.

In the same config file, set the `YOURLS_SITE` to either your short domain `http://example.org` or a subfolder `http://example.org/s`, but always without the trailing `/`.

Set a random cookie key, for example using `pwgen 50 1` and a user/password combo for the admin user. You can write the hash or the plain-text, but in the latter case the web server needs `rw` permissions to be able to hash it.
