MAKE_SHORT_URL is a web application for creating short URLs, similar to TinyURL, using actix_web with redis on Docker.

• base62.rs: Base62 encoding logic.
• redis_conn.rs: Redis interaction, setup, and event handling.
• server.rs: Main application entry, server setup, redis integration
• test.rs: Project tests.

• handle_button.js: Event listener for form submission and Button click handling.
• home.html: Homepage HTML.
• style.css: Homepage styling.

1. Localhost Mapping: Ensure no conflicts in /etc/hosts (Unix) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) and map us.ex to 127.0.0.1.
   • For Unix-based systems (Linux/macOS):

     sudo bash -c 'echo "127.0.0.1 us.ex" >> /etc/hosts'

   • For Windows:

     Add-Content -Path C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts -Value "127.0.0.1 us.ex"

2. Docker Installation: Get Started with Docker.
3. Clone repo and Run:

   git clone https://github.com/DirtyVoid/MAKE_SHORT_URL.git
   cd MAKE_SHORT_URL
   docker build --no-cache -t my-url-shortener .
   docker run -p 80:80 my-url-shortener

Access http://us.ex in a browser to shorten URLs. Adjust TTL in redis_conn.rs to change URL expiration. At the moment untested on Unix
