LinkLogger
Link Shortener and IP Logger
# Overview
### Create an account at [link.pkrm.dev/signup](https://link.pkrm.dev/signup)
**LinkLogger** is an *extremely* simple and public link shortener and IP logger. Every visit to a registered short link will log the user's IP address, location, user agent, browser, and OS before redirecting them to a specific URL.
The API is built on **FastAPI**, and the UI is built with **React**.
*NOTE:* I am NOT a front-end dev, so don't expect much on that. 😅
Feel free to submit an issue for any problems you experience or if you have an idea for a new feature. If you have a fix for anything, feel free to submit a pull request for review.
**TL;DR:** LinkLogger is like Grabify, but unrestricted and with a rudimentary UI.
# API Reference
You can view the full **API reference** and try out the endpoints on the [docs page](https://link.pkrm.dev/docs).
# Want to Self-Host?
## Docker
Docker is the recommended method of hosting LinkLogger. Running on bare metal is recommended for development.
To run LinkLogger on Docker, check out the [docker-compose.yaml](docker-compose.yaml) file.
## Bare metal
If you want to work on the LinkLogger source, or just want to run the project on bare metal, follow the instructions below:
1. Install python3.10 & pip (other python versions may work, but are currently untested)
2. Install Node.js
3. Install Yarn
4. Install API dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt)
5. Run either [linklogger.sh](linklogger.sh) (Linux/MacOS) or [linklogger.bat](linklogger.bat) (Windows)
*NOTE: Running on bare metal means there is not an NGINX instance to serve the UI and proxy API requests to port 5252.*
## Configuration
Below are all of the configuration variables that are used within the LinkLogger config.yaml file.
| **Variable** | **Description** | **Requirement** |
