A url shortener written in Lua in your nginx config
It will archive a page at web.archive.org each time somebody shortens a link
This is set up to run on freebsd. It should work on other unixes with few changes.
You will need nginx installed with the 3rd party postgres and lua modules compiled in.
You will need lua json /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/json/.
This requires a nginx.conf file that includes urlshort the http section.
Please change the db and db user as needed.
Be sure to change the server_name and the redirect location in the first
location block.
Put i.html and index.html in /var/www/urls/.

- Saves pages to archive.org
- Info page at
/i/<id> - Json info at
/a/<id>and/s/<id>
