Lightweight self-hosted URL shortener in Rust with an admin API and web panel.

Webfreeglobal

Shortlinker is a free, open-source URL shortener built in Rust, designed to be lightweight and self-hosted. It supports SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL storage, HTTP 307 redirects, expiring or password-protected links, and dynamic link management through a Bearer-token admin API with an optional web panel. It's aimed at developers who want a fast, hackable shortener they run themselves.
