## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
* Java (JDK 11 or later)
* Maven
* MySQL
* Your favorite IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse, etc.)
### 1-Click Local Installation <a href="https://github.com/aamitn/URLShortener/releases/download/installer%2Bwar/install.bat">Windows</a> | <a href="https://github.com/aamitn/URLShortener/releases/download/installer%2Bwar/install.sh">Linux</a>
### Windows
1. Open a Command Prompt with administrator privileges.
2. Navigate to the project's `installers` folder.
3. Run the `install.bat` file by double-clicking on it or using the following command:
```batch
install.bat
### Linux
1. Navigate to the project's installers folder.
2. Run the `install.sh` using the following command:
```bash
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
### Local Setup
1. Clone the repository:
```plaintext
git clone https://github.com/aamitn/URLShortener.git
```
2. **Apply the Database Schema:**
Execute the provided **db\_schema.sql** file to set up the necessary tables and schema for the application. This script will also create the required database.
```plaintext
mysql -u your_username -p < path/to/db_schema.sql
```
3. Update the application.properties file:
Update the application.properties file in the src/main/resources directory with your database configuration.
4. Build and run the application:
```plaintext
cd URLShortener
mvn spring-boot:run
```
5. Access the application at http://localhost:8080
### Deployment
1. **Build a deployable WAR:**
```plaintext
mvn clean install
```
2. **Deploy the WAR:**
* **Option 1: Manual Deployment**
Deploy the generated WAR file to your Tomcat server. Copy the WAR file to the `webapps` directory of your Tomcat installation.
```plaintext
cp target/shorten.war /path/to/tomcat/webapps/
```
* **Option 2: Web Interface Upload**
Alternatively, if your Tomcat server provides a web interface for WAR file deployment, follow these steps:
* Access the Tomcat Manager web interface at `http://localhost:8080/manager/html` (replace with your Tomcat server address).
* Log in with your Tomcat manager credentials.
* Navigate to the "WAR file to deploy" section.
* Choose the `shorten.war` file using the file upload button.
* Click the "Deploy" button.
3. **Configure environment variables:**
Set environment variables for cloud-specific settings.
4. **Adjust Tomcat Configuration (Important):**
To ensure proper functionality, it's important to run the application on the root of the servlet container. If you're using Tomcat, add the following line to your `server.xml` configuration file within the `<Host>` section:
```xml
<Context path="" docBase="shorten" reloadable="true"></Context>
```
This ensures that the application runs on the root context path. Adjust the `docBase` attribute according to your deployment directory.
5. **Start Tomcat:**
Start your Tomcat server.
```plaintext
/path/to/tomcat/bin/startup.sh # for Linux
/path/to/tomcat/bin/startup.bat # for Windows
```
Access the application at `http://localhost:8080/`.
6. **Adjust Configuration (Optional):** If you need to customize the application configuration after deployment, you can find the **application.properties** file within the deployed WAR file. THe file can be accesses as :
```plaintext
vi /path/to/tomcat/webapps/your-app/WEB-INF/classes/application.properties
```
### Cloud Native Deployment
To deploy the URL Shortener application on your cloud environment, follow the steps below:
**Prerequisites**
* [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started)
* [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
1. **Clone the Repository:**
```plaintext
git clone https://github.com/your-username/URLShortener.git
cd URLShortener
```
2. **Build and Run Your Own Image:**
```plaintext
docker build -t shortener:latest .
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 3306:3306 shortener:latest
```
3. **Use Our Pre-built Image with Docker Compose:**
```plaintext
docker compose build
docker compose up
```
4. **Customizing Docker Compose Configuration:**
In the **docker-compose.yml** file, you can customize the build source for the Shortener service:
```plaintext
#Build from docker hub image .Comment/Uncomment Below
image: nmpl/shortener:latest
#Build from local Dockerfile.Comment/Uncomment Below
# build:
# context: .
# dockerfile: Dockerfilekerfile
```
Comment or uncomment the relevant lines based on whether you want to use the pre-built image from Docker Hub or build from the local Dockerfile.
5. **Deploy Using K8s**
* **Setup Kubernetes Deployment and Service:**
```plaintext
kubectl apply -f shortener-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f shortener-service.yaml
```
* **Use the following command to monitor the deployment:**
```plaintext
kubectl get pods
```
Wait until the pod is in the "Running" state.
* **Access the Application**
Depending on your Kubernetes setup, you might need to get the external IP of the service:
```plaintext
kubectl get service shortener-service
```
Access your application using the provided external IP.
### App Health
* Check application status from the /monitoring page example http://localhost:8080/monitoring
### Usage Cases
1. Shorten URLs by visiting the URL Shortener page.
2. Access analytics for each shortened URL.
3. Create and manage bio pages in the Bio section.
