Anybody using https://shlink.io/ ?

Look for feedback on the product or if there is a more recommend
alternative.

TIA

Super awesome. I use it with traefik for the reverse proxy. The api,
the cli, and the web ui is well thought out. Runs very fast, with
minimal resources. Oh and it has a qr code generator built in. Have
been using Shlink for about a year now. I haven't looked for another
one as it has been very stable.

Tried shlink and it was weird, strange admin access and unnecessary
hard to set up..

I set it up 3 days ago as docker image with Nginx Reverse Proxy for
SSL and it just works :-)

I am using the API only, I did not install the web frontend.

Can you have auth or url shortening enabled only for the owner?

Really like it but setup is overly complicated(as said above).

One question: Can you edit your existing shortened URL's (the target)?

yeah, agree setup was "weird" - ended up with 5 separate Docker
containers, a frontend, a backend, a database, a cloudflared tunnel
proxy, and something called "mercure" which is apparently for some
kind of inter app message brokering. It works but I am not a fan of
the fact that I can't even bookmark my instance because apparently the
way the app works is it runs locally and generates a unique UUID for
the "server" on each computer you use it on.
