[ADM] Looking for: New Short URL platform.

[JFQueralt]

Problem The current implementation (YOURLS - self hosted) is not scalable and the admin interface is not really user friendly. We have experienced issues on features (such as case sensitivity or QS params not working or fallback URL not working) and need more control from an API perspective for instance. Plugins are not always working and it takes just too long to handle it properly.

Objectives Migrate to another platform to have better control on the Short URLs.

Migrate:

• [x] TIOF.Click
• [x] DoThe.Click

Requirements

• Must have -- API -- QR Code generator -- Multidomain -- Stats -- Custom slugs -- Able to redirect parameters -- Reports

• Should have --

• Could have -- Freeware / Open Source -- Usage limit by parameters -- Plugins -- Fallback URL -- Case insensitive -- Being able to track with Matomo -- Tags on links

• Won't have -- Nil

Resources Interesting options at the moment:

• https://kutt.it/
• https://shlink.io/

Attempting to test Bl.ink as first alternative.

• [x] Migration from YOURLS https://github.com/GautamGupta/YOURLS-Import-Export

• [x] Configure Bl.ink

• [x] Assign Management Users

• [x] Decommission YOURLS

• [x] Document SOPs

• [x] Add Bl.ink to Basaas

• [x] Announce to corresponding Users

Scheduled to work on this on the 24/02/2021.

• Ignored the export > import solution. It wasn't optimal and opted for reviewing all the links one by one and take the chance of applying a consistent nomenclature

• Created #Tags

• [x] Consolidate all #Tags in the central #Tags repository

• Bl.ink config

• Fallback URLs (NoTerm & 404)

[JFQueralt]

Platform is working well.

Closing the ticket.

• [x] Delete YOURLS from Basaas
