Show HN: An open-source alternative to Bitly
I don't care about analytics at all, so I just wrote a simple build system doto generate some very basic HTML redirects.
It isn't perfect but it's very cheap to run!

How I Built a Scalable, Free URL Shortener.
Building a URL shortener from scratch? Nah, you’re crazy! Instead, we grabbed a trusty open-source solution that’s already been battle-tested. By using this ready-made tool, we skipped the drama of starting from zero and cut our development time way down. This gave us more time to focus on making our app and management system even better—plus, it saved us from pulling out our hair!

Show HN: An open-source alternative to Bitly
Last big project at my old job was for an appointment notification service. In addition to making messages longer and thus costing us more, counterintuitively the unshortened URLs got flagged as spam by automated systems and end users more than shortened. However, you can’t use bitly or other free/public shorteners; use one hosted on your own domain. I used shlink https://shlink.io/

Raindrop.io: cross-platform, collaborative bookmark manager
Tangentially related: I'm in search of a lightweight self-hosted URL shortener. Tried shlink[0] but man it's a bit of a bear, requiring 5 (yes, five) separate Docker containers. Also tried kutt[1] but it appears to be abandoned.

Shlink CLI issue
i have just set up shlink.io via /r/portainer and docker-compose. Now i have tried opening the CLI to generate an API key which i need for the shlink web interface but unfortunately it closes in a fraction of a second after bin/cli, showing all available arguments.

Permanent URL to file possible?
Are you looking for stable HTTP/S URLs that you can publish for others to access? One solution to that might be to purchase your own domain and host a little redirector service that bounces the consumer to the real, currently active, cloud URL. Something like https://shlink.io/ might work (but I’ve not used it, and that’s just a suggestion not a recommendation!)

Forwarding source IP from HAProxy?
I'm working on setting up Shlink, a self-hosted URL shortening service. I've got it set up in docker and it's working, but now I want to set up a reverse proxy for it. I use HAProxy on pfSense, but in order to make it work, the documentation states that I need to make sure the "consumer's IP address, and the requests domain, are forwarded from the proxy".
