This is a fork of kellegous / go on GitHub, with Azure AD support. This fork does not implement this functionality on Firestore. You may need to change a few constants to connect to your app registration.
The first time I encountered "go" links was at Google. Anyone on the corporate network could register a URL shortcut and it would redirect the user to the appropriate page. So for instance, if you wanted to find out more about BigTable, you simply directed your browser at http://go/bigtable and you would be redirected to something about the BigTable data storage system. I was later told that the first go service at Google was written by Benjamin Staffin to end the never-ending stream of requests for internal CNAME entries. He described it as AOL keywords for the corporate network. These days if you go to any reasonably sized company, you are likely to find a similar system. Etsy made one after seeing that Twitter had one ... it's a contagious and useful little tool. So contagious, in fact, that many former Googlers that I know have built or contributed to a similar system post-Google. I am no different, this is my "go" link service.
One slight difference between this go service and Google's is that this one is also capable of generating short links for you.
This tool is written in Go (ironically) and can be easily installed and started with the following commands.
# git clone
make # You may need to install dependencies in this step
# modify head part of web/web.go to fill in azure app info
cd cmd/go
go build
./go
Rerun make with working directory the project root again after any change in
web/assets and rerun go build again after any change of go files.
By default, the service will put all of its data in the directory data and will
listen to requests on the port 8067. Both of these, however, are easily configured
using the --data=/path/to/data and --addr=:80 command line flags.
To get the most benefit from the service, you should setup a DNS entry on your
local network, go.corp.mycompany.com. Make sure that corp.mycompany.com is in
the search domains for each user on the network. This is usually easily accomplished
by configuring your DHCP server. Now, simply typing "go" into your browser should
take you to the service, where you can register shortcuts. Obviously, those
shortcuts will also be available by typing "go/shortcut".
Once you have it all setup, using it is pretty straight-forward.
Type go or go/links, which jump to the same page.
Type go/edit/my-shortcut and enter the URL.
Type go/my-shortcut and you'll be redirected to the URL.
Type go and enter the URL.
If you want to check out who created specific link, please dump the database,
with the admin option when running, and get the user id. After you get the id,
go to the Azure Active Directory portal and paste the part of user id before .
in the Search your tenant box in the overview page and the result will show up.
To limit application to approved users only, please visit your Azure Portal, and
search Enterprise Applications, then enter your application's management page.
Choose Properties from the sidebar, then choose Yes for Assignment required,
after which you will need to add users approved in Users and groups in the sidebar.
