LinkStack¶

LinkStack is a "link in bio" tool similar to LinkTr.ee.

There is an official image for this service that we'll use: linkstackorg/linkstack.

Pre-Installation¶

We'll create a folder in the main user's home where all the service's data will be saved.

mkdir ~/services/data/linkstack

Docker Compose¶

LinkStack will be run using Docker Compose. The content of the docker-compose.yml file is as follows:

services:
  web:
    image: linkstackorg/linkstack:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      default:
      proxy_external:
        aliases:
          - linkstack
    volumes:
      - linkstack_data:/htdocs
    environment:
      TZ: America/Guayaquil
      SERVER_ADMIN: YOUR_EMAIL_HERE
      HTTP_SERVER_NAME: subdomain.example.com
    labels:
      traefik.enable: true
      traefik.docker.network: proxy_external
      traefik.http.routers.linkstack.rule: Host(`subdomain.example.com`)
      traefik.http.routers.linkstack.entrypoints: tunnel
      traefik.http.routers.linkstack.service: linkstack@docker
      traefik.http.services.linkstack.loadbalancer.server.port: 80

networks:
  proxy_external:
    external: true

volumes:
  linkstack_data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      o: bind
      type: none
      device: ./data

Note

Replace subdomain.example.com with the domain name where your service will be accessible from.

Note

Replace YOUR_EMAIL_HERE with your actual email.

Note

This service requires a volume to be added with a bind mount instead of a direct filesystem volume.

Reverse Proxy¶

This service is exposed by a reverse proxy. More specifically, it is using Traefik.

For this reason, you will see that this service has:

A directive to connect it to the proxy_external external network.
A container alias for the proxy_external network.
A number of labels with names starting with traefik.

If you're not using a reverse proxy, feel free to remove these from the docker-compose.yml file. Keep in mind you might need to bind the ports to connect to the service instead.

Running¶

Start up the service with:

docker compose up -d

That's it! The service will auto-start on system startup and restart on failure.
