Shlink VS speedtest

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.

IF you just want to setup an internal link shortener, there is software out there for it. We do it at my company. The best one I've found is Shlink: https://shlink.io/

Need to post some links in a small amount of space? You're going to want Shlink (code).

Shlink

One option I could think of is a URL shortener that has an API - shlink for example - or one that uses a database that you could connect to.

I have been using Truenas Core/FreeNAS since mid 2019 for mass storage of my 30 TB of photos and mostly videos (I make videos for clients and keep all data from previous projects (many of them a few hundred GB to 2 TB of 4K ProRes RAW video)) as well as numerous jails (similar to Docker containers but FreeBSD) in which I run Nextcloud, Shlink, a [matrix] server (Synapse), a dovecot/postfix mailserver, my website, a Minecraft server and some webapps I programmed myself and I am generally very happy with it. I recently bought 4 16 TB hard drives which I am now running in raidz (i. e. one drive is allowed to fail without any data loss) to which I am currently migrating my data. When that’s done I will destroy the 6x 8 TB raidz2 single vdev pool, create a new pool with a 7x 8 TB raidz vdev, back up all of my data to it and give it to a friend as an off site backup. Once that’s done I will switch to TrueNAS Scale, mostly because of Linux and Docker/Kubernetes as well as maybe in the future GPU passthrough to offload Blender 3D rendering or photogrammetry from my MacBook to the server.

Just found https://shlink.io/, looks pretty promising. It's not made for the purpose of collecting URLs, but that's fine. It supports tags and a description which is more than enough :)

LebreSpeed

here's the top two results if you search for "open speed test nginx reverse proxy": https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/wiki/Reverse-proxy-with-Nginx https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker/issues/924

Fast.com is giving me ~ 250Mbps https://librespeed.org is giving me ~ 112Mbps the one constant between all the tests seems to be the 52Mb upload

LibreSpeed (local speedtest) - https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest

In this particular instance though, adolfintel appears to be the developer of Librespeed. The official documentation in that GitHub repo points to that docker image by adolfintel. Therefore, it counts as the official docker image in my book.

I was loading up Librespeed with https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/blob/master/doc_docker.md

I really like this project in compare to LibreSpeed or Speed Test, since it doesn't requires docker, PHP, nodejs or other heavy stuff, just a static web server is sufficient for a quick local speed test!
