Shlink
URL shortener with REST API and command line interface. Includes official progressive web application and docker images.
Shlink is a self‑hosted URL shortener built with PHP that lets you serve shortened links from your own domain. It provides a REST API and a command‑line interface for creating, listing, and managing short URLs, as well as a progressive web application for a visual management experience. The software stores data in common relational databases such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL or SQLite, and can be deployed via pre‑built distribution archives or an official Docker image.
The tool is aimed at developers and organizations that need full control over link shortening, including custom slugs, domain management, and integration with existing workflows through the API or CLI. It also records anonymized visit statistics and geolocation data for each click, supporting analytics without external services.
Shlink is released under the MIT license, requires PHP 8.4/8.5 with standard extensions, and is distributed as open‑source code. It is packaged for easy container deployment and includes documentation for installation, configuration, and usage.
