Live version of this project @ https://pygy.co
Check link stats by adding + to the URL. Example pygy.co/pygmy+
Note that pygy.co is a demo website for this project and should be used as such. While the website is going to be up for the foreseeable future, its future depends on the sponsorship and hosting that I get. Currently, project is hosted on Digitalocean, as they were kind enough to offer me one year of sponsorship. I would like to keep the project website up and maintain the project but I do not make any money out of this project or website. If you would like to supprt the project, I can be contacted on my email of sources listed on websites contact page.
Pygmy or pygy.co is an open-source, extensible & easy-to-use but powerful URL shortener. It's created keeping in mind that it should be easy to host and run your custom URL shortener without much effort. [Open-source Python URL shortener]
The architecture is very loosely coupled which allows custom integrations easily.
The project has 3 major parts
- The core URL shortening code
- A REST API on top. Uses Flask framework
- The UI layer for rendering the UI. It uses Django framework
- URL shortner
- Customized short URL's(ex:
pygy.co/pygmy) - Support to create auto expiry URL after sometime.
- Secret key protected URL's
- User Login/Sign up to track shortned URL's and link stats
- User dashboard
- Link Analytics(add + to the tiny URL to get link stats)
- Python 3, Javascript, JQuery, HTML, CSS
- REST API: Flask
- Pygmyui: Django(It serves the web user interface)
- DB: PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQLite
- Others: SQLAlchmey, JWT
- Docker
- Docker-compose
- In terminal run this command:
docker pull amit19/pygmy - Then run the container:
docker run -it -p 8000:8000 amit19/pygmy - Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser
- Clone
git clone https://github.com/amitt001/pygmy.git & cd pygmy - (Optional) Install virtualenv (optional but recommended)
virtualenv -p python3 envsource env/bin/activate
- Install dependencies:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt(if you are using MySQL or PostgreSQL check DB setup section) python run.py(It runs Flask and Django servers using gunicorn)- Visit
127.0.0.1:8000to use the app - Logs can be viewed at
pygmy/data/pygmy.log
Note:
- This module only supports Python 3. Make sure pip and virtualenv are both python 3 based versions.(To install Python 3 on Mac: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install3/osx/)
- The project has two config files:
- pygmy.cfg:
pygmy/config/pygmy.cfgrest API and pygmy core settings file - settings.py:
pygmyui/pygmyui/settings.pyDjango settings file
- pygmy.cfg:
- Both the files have aparallel _test. config files to configure it for tests.
- SQLite is default db, if you are using PostgreSQL or MySQL with this project, make sure they are installed into the system.
- To modify config settings vim
pygmy/config/pygmy.cfg - You can run pygmy shell present in src directory to run the program on terminal.
python shell - By default in
pygmyui/pygmyui/settings.pyDEBUG is set to True, set it to False in production
By default Pygmy uses SQLite but anoy of the SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL can be used. Configs are present on pygmy.cfg file in pygmy/config directory.
Use db specific instruction below. Make sure to check and modify values in pygmy.cfg file according to your DB setup.
First install pymysql:
pip install pymysql
Check correct port:
mysqladmin variables | grep port
Change below line in pygmy/core/pygmy.cfg:
[database]
engine: mysql
url: {engine}://{user}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{db_name}
user: root
password: root
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 3306
db_name: pygmy
Enter MySQL URL
CREATE DATABASE pygmy;
Note: Better using Mysql with version > 5.6.5 to use default value of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for DATETIME.
Change below line in pygmy/core/pygmy.cfg:
[database]
engine: postgresql
url: {engine}://{user}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{db_name}
user: root
password: root
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 5432
db_name: pygmy
SQLite is natively supported in Python
sqlite:////var/lib/pygmy/pygmy.db
[database]
engine: sqlite3
sqlite_data_dir: data
sqlite_db_file_name: pygmy.db
Docker image name: amit19/pygmy
Docker image can be build by: docker build -t amit19/pygmy .
Both Dockerfile and docker-compose file are preset at the root of the project.
To use docker-compose you need to pass DB credentials in docker-compose file
curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:9119/api/user/1 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
"email": "[email protected]",
"f_name": "Amit",
"l_name": "Tripathi",
"password": "a_safe_one"
}'

Docstring:
Helper class that has been delegated the task of inserting the
passed url in DB, base 62 encoding from DB id and return the short
URL value.
For getting geo location stats from IP maxminds' GeoLite2-Country.mmd database is used. It's in pygmy/app directory.
It uses JWT. When user logs in using username and password two tokens are generated, refresh token and auth token. Auth token is used for authentication with the Pygmy API. Refresh token can only be used to generate new auth token. Auth token has a very short TTL but refresh token has a longer TTL. After 30 minutes. When a request comes with the old auht token and a new token is generated from the refresh token API. User passwords are encrypted by bcrypt hash algorithm.
If you find any bug, have a question or a general feature request. Open an issue on the 'Issue' page.
