A self-hosted URL shortener: Shlink - Keep control over all your shortened URLs, by serving them under your own domains, using this simple yet powerful tool. https://shlink.io/
I was very surprised to find this mature, full-featured URL shortener. It’s written in PHP and includes Geoblocking so your shortener isn’t abused.

This maybe isn’t for everyone but I de-dockerified Shlink pretty quickly. Moving it to two nginx vhosts (server and admin) on a Shlink LXC and a centralized Postgres server made dealing with it a lot easier.
E.g., the initial API key shenanigans were less fiddly after I took more direct control.
Interesting. I deploy to my homelab with Docker so it was a fit for me. But I do want to tinker on the API to disable everything but GET. Can you share anything more about breaking it up?
Do you know if there is any way to use this in combination with Raycast?
I’m not a raycast user, but it has a CLI and REST API, so if Raycast has any extensibility, my guess is yes
Oh snap now I just need to learn how to code
Another great option is Yourls. I’ve been using it for years and it’s been fabulous
I looked at yourls, too. I found Shlink devex to be more mature and the automated geolocation-blocking integration sold me.
It also hasn’t had a release in 2 years and is a self-described “set of PHP scripts”. Doesn’t fit my standard for what I deploy to my homelab
Totally fair.
