About
Short links with your own domain and statistics. Every click counted by country, device and referrer; QR codes included.
Notes
Self-hosted URL shortener with analytics and QR support. This profile uses SQLite in a single container.
Shlink is an API-only server with no built-in web UI. You get an initial API key on install and pair it with the free web client at https://app.shlink.io (or self-host shlink-web-client) to manage short links from a browser. The app listens on port 8080; obacht routes your domain to it.
