EDIT (19.12.2024): Unfortunately, Microsoft has kind of stopped its support for WSA and f-ed something up with one of their updates. Maybe it was the move to win11 that did it (install worked the same as described here for win10). Maybe it just needs a re-install of a newer WSA-build. For me, it’s currently not working, but since I’m soon moving to Fedora (Waydroid yay), getting this to work again is not a priority. Comment below if you got it to work!

I found the original tutorial here: https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/install-shlink-docker . Thanks to the Hetzner community. In short, the compose file looks like this: This compose file lets you easily run a short-link solution for yourself (and others?). To add an API key for the web admin panel, run this command in the container (either via docker exec or portainer -> console -> sh): To import a csv file with links, just put

Here is my docker-compose file for the watchtower container. It auto-updates other containers on the host, including itself (but that often fails for some reason). It uses a pre-configured GMail-adress to send notification mails. The WATCHTOWER_SCHEDULE env variable lets watchtower check for updates every day at 03:15.Set the hostname to have a readable hostname in e-mail notifications.
