As someone who tries out a lot of containers and tries to get friends into it, it's nice to be able to send them over to a trustworthy source so I'm not having to help all the time. Great work, appreciated by many.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Hey I didn't know about your accident.
Thanks God you are alive. I'm pretty sure God has a big purpose for your life, and somewhere within that purpose is to teach us all these awesome things.
God bless!

when doing a docker compose up withg logs i am getting [ERROR] Error generating database.. Set SHELL_VERBOSITY=3 to see specific error

[chandler-barry]

solid content, great explanations...been watching a bunch of your vids lately man thank you

[PrimalDashes]

Yes! Thank you so much 🤘 You 100% helped me understand what I was missing about this install. I think we were confused about the same area. Sincerely appreciate ALL your videos, you've changed how I do things at home. Now, what are the odds of digging into kubernetes? Lol

[chadmarkley]

Dude, keep up the good work. Really enjoy the videos

Hi, how do I install shlink on the easypanel panel?

[janezhitori]

Im wondering if there is any link localizer plugin to geniuslink for amazon links and similar.

[brunosolothurnmann]

Thank you. I installed it on a local Raspberry Docker and it runs very well. The same I tested on a remote hosted VM over a public Internet. The problem there I still have, I was not able to install a certificate to run with https. Maybe someone has an idea how to do this. Thanks.

[romayojr]

How do I make the servers.json file? It is not generated automatically.I can't create a container because I don't have it.

[MikeDent]

Nice video. Have you considered linking this with Picsur?

After following the docker compose I'm still having an issue connecting to the shlink-backend server

[franklinan]

I ve all running ok, but there is no way to work. My subdomain is created on cloudfare tunnels (i hve some more working), but shlinnk webclinet is unable to connect. If I change the server subdomain with local ip the client is able to "log in" and i can create "local shortlinks". I va changed the proxy to only DNS on cloudfare to try, with same result. Any ideas what s going onplease ?

[greenwheelgaming]

when adding a new server in the gui i get "Oops! Could not connect to this Shlink server."

[bhanuprakashshettigar]

Should we configure reverse proxy for the domain? like u told in "yourls" video?
