Shlink Dashboard (without DB)

Shlink Dashboard is the next-generation web application for Shlink. It supports user authentication with roles (admins, advanced users and managed users), saves all settings server-side per user, and proxies interactions with your Shlink server so API keys never leak to the browser.

Requirements

This template does not include a database. Deploy it into the same project as your Shlink stack (e.g. deployed from the Shlink template), and it will reuse that PostgreSQL service via the shared POSTGRES_* variables.

Alternatively, deploy this template first and then add a PostgreSQL service to the project yourself — once PostgreSQL is up and running, restart the shlink-dashboard service.

On first start it creates its own shlink_dashboard database in the existing PostgreSQL server. No other change is needed.

Shlink Dashboard works with Shlink 4.0 and later, so it pairs directly with the Shlink template.

First steps

1. Open the Dashboard URL (see the instructions section of the shlink-dashboard service)
2. Log in with username admin and password admin, and set a new password when prompted
3. Click "Add a server", enter any name, the "Endpoint URL" and "API key" (both can be found in the instructions section of the shlink service in this project)
4. Create and manage short URLs, tags, domains and visits

You can also keep using the classic web client at app.shlink.io — both work with the same Shlink instance.
