QLinks

Self-hosted URL shortener with focus on link management for private use.

QLinks is not a normal URL shortener — it does not allow anyone on the Internet to shorten any URLs and return some gibberish URL. QLinks is a tool to curate a collection of short links.

Features

• Automatically detect broken links;
• Support for CDN cache purging, allowing redirects to be cached at the edge (currently only Cloudflare is supported); and
• An amazing admin interface, powered by Django's admin site:

Installation

git clone https://github.com/quantum5/qlinks.git
cd qlinks
python -m venv env --prompt qlinks
. env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp qlinks/settings/template.py qlinks/settings/local.py
# Edit qlinks/settings/local.py to configure QLinks like a normal Django project.
python manage.py runserver

Once you are satisfied with the way QLinks works, load up qlinks.project.wsgi:application in any WSGI-compliant application server.
