# QLinks Self-hosted URL shortener with focus on link management for private use. QLinks is not a normal URL shortener — it does not allow anyone on the Internet to shorten any URLs and return some gibberish URL. **QLinks is a tool to curate a collection of short links.** ## Features * Automatically detect broken links; * Support for CDN cache purging, allowing redirects to be cached at the edge (currently only Cloudflare is supported); and * An amazing admin interface, powered by Django's admin site: [![QLinks Admin Site](demo.png)](demo.png) ## Installation ```sh git clone https://github.com/quantum5/qlinks.git cd qlinks python -m venv env --prompt qlinks . env/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt cp qlinks/settings/template.py qlinks/settings/local.py # Edit qlinks/settings/local.py to configure QLinks like a normal Django project. python manage.py runserver ``` Once you are satisfied with the way QLinks works, load up `qlinks.project.wsgi:application` in any WSGI-compliant application server.
