Shlink

Shlink is a fast self-hosted URL shortener that offers a RESTful API and a command line interface. Your shortened links are also safely manageable through app.shlink.io which is 100% browser based. Notable features include custom slugs, click tracking, and tag management.

Please note that the following advanced features are not activated through this Tipi App:

Multi-domain support
Geo-Localisation
RabbitMQ/Mercure real-time updates

During the installation process, you will be prompted to specify the domain for your shortened URLs.

ℹ️ Required post installation step

After installing Shlink in Tipi, you will have to generate a API Key before being able to use the service through the following command.

docker exec -it shlink shlink api-key:generate

Keep your API Key secure, as it is essential for link administration. If you lose the key, rerun the command to generate a new one.

If you don't have access to the console of your Tipi server, consider using Portainer which is available on Tipi. Within Portainer, you would have to:

Select the local environment
Select the shlink container - not the shlink-db -
Click on Console within the "Container Status" panel
Execute a /bin/sh command
Within the newly opened terminal, enter shlink api-key:generate
