Shlink Docker image

Docker build status Docker pulls

This image provides an easy way to set up shlink on a container-based runtime.

It exposes a shlink instance served with swoole, which persists data in a local sqlite database.

Usage

Shlink docker image exposes port 8080 in order to interact with its HTTP interface.

It also expects these two env vars to be provided, in order to properly generate short URLs at runtime.

  • SHORT_DOMAIN_HOST: The custom short domain used for this shlink instance. For example doma.in.
  • SHORT_DOMAIN_SCHEMA: Either http or https.

So based on this, to run shlink on a local docker service, you should run a command like this:

docker run --name shlink -p 8080:8080 -e SHORT_DOMAIN_HOST=doma.in -e SHORT_DOMAIN_SCHEMA=https shlinkio/shlink

Interact with shlink's CLI on a running container.

Once the shlink container is running, you can interact with the CLI tool by running shlink with any of the supported commands.

For example, if the container is called shlink_container, you can generate a new API key with:

docker exec -it shlink_container shlink api-key:generate

Or you can list all tags with:

docker exec -it shlink_container shlink tag:list

Or process remaining visits with:

docker exec -it shlink_container shlink visit:process

All shlink commands will work the same way.

You can also list all available commands just by running this:

docker exec -it shlink_container shlink

Use an external DB

The image comes with a working sqlite database, but in production you will probably want to usa a distributed database.

It is possible to use a set of env vars to make this shlink instance interact with an external MySQL or PostgreSQL database.

  • DB_DRIVER: [Mandatory]. Use the value mysql or postgres to prevent the sqlite database to be used.
  • DB_NAME: [Optional]. The database name to be used. Defaults to shlink.
  • DB_USER: [Mandatory]. The username credential for the database server.
  • DB_PASSWORD: [Mandatory]. The password credential for the database server.
  • DB_HOST: [Mandatory]. The host name of the server running the database engine.
  • DB_PORT: [Optional]. The port in which the database service is running.
    • Default value is based on the driver:
      • mysql -> 3306
      • postgres -> 5432

PostgreSQL is supported since v1.16.1 of this image. Do not try to use it with previous versions.

Taking this into account, you could run shlink on a local docker service like this:

docker run --name shlink -p 8080:8080 -e SHORT_DOMAIN_HOST=doma.in -e SHORT_DOMAIN_SCHEMA=https -e DB_DRIVER=mysql -e DB_USER=root -e DB_PASSWORD=123abc -e DB_HOST=something.rds.amazonaws.com shlinkio/shlink

You could even link to a local database running on a different container:

docker run --name shlink -p 8080:8080 [...] -e DB_HOST=some_mysql_container --link some_mysql_container shlinkio/shlink

If you have considered using SQLite but sharing the database file with a volume, read this issue first.

Supported env vars

A few env vars have been already used in previous examples, but this image supports others that can be used to customize its behavior.

This is the complete list of supported env vars:

  • SHORT_DOMAIN_HOST: The custom short domain used for this shlink instance. For example doma.in.
  • SHORT_DOMAIN_SCHEMA: Either http or https.
  • SHORTCODE_CHARS: A charset to use when building short codes. Only needed when using more than one shlink instance (Multi instance considerations).
  • DB_DRIVER: sqlite (which is the default value), mysql or postgres.
  • DB_NAME: The database name to be used when using an external database driver. Defaults to shlink.
  • DB_USER: The username credential to be used when using an external database driver.
  • DB_PASSWORD: The password credential to be used when using an external database driver.
  • DB_HOST: The host name of the database server when using an external database driver.
  • DB_PORT: The port in which the database service is running when using an external database driver. Defaults to 3306.
  • DISABLE_TRACK_PARAM: The name of a query param that can be used to visit short URLs avoiding the visit to be tracked. This feature won't be available if not value is provided.
  • DELETE_SHORT_URL_THRESHOLD: The amount of visits on short URLs which will not allow them to be deleted. Defaults to 15.
  • LOCALE: Defines the default language for error pages when a user accesses a short URL which does not exist. Supported values are es and en. Defaults to en.
  • VALIDATE_URLS: Boolean which tells if shlink should validate a status 20x (after following redirects) is returned when trying to shorten a URL. Defaults to true.
  • NOT_FOUND_REDIRECT_TO: If a URL is provided here, when a user tries to access an invalid short URL, he/she will be redirected to this value. If this env var is not provided, the user will see a generic 404 - not found page.

  • REDIS_SERVERS: A comma-separated list of redis servers where Shlink locks are stored (locks are used to prevent some operations to be run more than once in parallel).

    This is important when running more than one Shlink instance (Multi instance considerations). If not provided, Shlink stores locks on every instance separately.

    If more than one server is provided, Shlink will expect them to be configured as a redis cluster.

    In the future, these redis servers could be used for other caching operations performed by shlink.

An example using all env vars could look like this:

docker run \
    --name shlink \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    -e SHORT_DOMAIN_HOST=doma.in \
    -e SHORT_DOMAIN_SCHEMA=https \
    -e DB_DRIVER=mysql \
    -e DB_NAME=shlink \
    -e DB_USER=root \
    -e DB_PASSWORD=123abc \
    -e DB_HOST=something.rds.amazonaws.com \
    -e DB_PORT=3306 \
    -e DISABLE_TRACK_PARAM="no-track" \
    -e DELETE_SHORT_URL_THRESHOLD=30 \
    -e LOCALE=es \
    -e VALIDATE_URLS=false \
    -e "NOT_FOUND_REDIRECT_TO=https://www.google.com" \
    -e "REDIS_SERVERS=tcp://172.20.0.1:6379,tcp://172.20.0.2:6379" \
    shlinkio/shlink

Provide config via volumes

Rather than providing custom configuration via env vars, it is also possible ot provide config files in json format.

Mounting a volume at config/params you will make shlink load all the files on it with the .config.json suffix.

The whole configuration should have this format, but it can be split into multiple files that will be merged:

{
    "disable_track_param": "my_param",
    "delete_short_url_threshold": 30,
    "locale": "es",
    "short_domain_schema": "https",
    "short_domain_host": "doma.in",
    "validate_url": false,
    "not_found_redirect_to": "https://my-landing-page.com",
    "redis_servers": [
        "tcp://172.20.0.1:6379",
        "tcp://172.20.0.2:6379"
    ],
    "db_config": {
        "driver": "pdo_mysql",
        "dbname": "shlink",
        "user": "root",
        "password": "123abc",
        "host": "something.rds.amazonaws.com",
        "port": "3306"
    }
}

This is internally parsed to how shlink expects the config. If you are using a version previous to 1.17.0, this parser is not present and you need to provide a config structure like the one documented previously.

Once created just run shlink with the volume:

docker run --name shlink -p 8080:8080 -v ${PWD}/my/config/dir:/etc/shlink/config/params shlinkio/shlink

Multi instance considerations

These are some considerations to take into account when running multiple instances of shlink.

  • The first time shlink is run, it generates a charset used to generate short codes, which is a shuffled base62 charset.

    If you are using several shlink instances, you will probably want all of them to use the same charset.

    You can get a shuffled base62 charset by going to https://shlink.io/short-code-chars, and then you just need to pass it to all shlink instances using the SHORTCODE_CHARS env var.

    If you don't do this, each shlink instance will use a different charset. However this shouldn't be a problem in practice, since the chances to get a collision will be very low.

  • Some operations performed by Shlink should never be run more than once at the same time (like creating the database for the first time, or downloading the GeoLite2 database). For this reason, Shlink uses a locking system.

    However, these locks are locally scoped to each Shlink instance by default.

    You can (and should) make the locks to be shared by all Shlink instances by using a redis server/cluster. Just define the REDIS_SERVERS env var with the list of servers.

Versions

Versions of this image match the shlink version it contains.

For example, installing shlinkio/shlink:1.15.0, you will get an image containing shlink v1.15.0.

The latest docker tag always holds the latest contents in master, and it's considered unestable and not suitable for production.

There are no official shlink images previous to v1.15.0.
