Fastlinks

Instructions

Modify /etc/hosts with:

# golinks rule
127.0.0.1       go

Then modify your localhost iptables to redirect from port 80 to port 12345 (or whatever port you plan to run fastlinks on). You may need to find a way to persist these iptable rules if you restart often.

sudo iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport=80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 12345

Systemd

If you use systemd as your init system, you can install the binary with bazel run //fastlinks:install, which builds and installs the binary into /usr/loca/bin/. From there, you can enable fastlinks as a systemd daemon, using the provided systemd unit configuration file as an example at //fastlinks/systemd/fastlinks.service.

To enable fastlinks as a local user service (without requiring sudo), copy the provided systemd config file or create your own at ~/.config/systemd/user/fastlinks.service, and run the following command.

systemctl enable --user fastlinks.service
systemctl start --user fastlinks.service

Firefox

You may need to set browser.fixup.dns_first_for_single_words in about:config to true in order to not have Firefox search when typing go/<key>.

Alternatively, you can set browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.go to true (you need to create this new value), since setting the fix for all single first words might conflict with your other searches. This config may not persist if caches are wiped however.
