Open-Source Self-Hosted Zer0 URL Shortener

A modern-looking, tiny, fast, self-hosted URL shortener built for Docker Compose. zer0 keeps the redirect path lean, protects public link creation with CAPTCHA, stores links in Redis, and includes a browser admin dashboard for stats and cleanup. Custom shortlinks are a lot easier to share than lengthy links with variables that follow them, and Bit.ly shortlinks are sometimes banned from use on some sites. Self-hosting ensures privacy compliance for your users and audience, and this service is so lightweight that you’d hardly notice it is running. The GitHub project does not go into much detail on how to install it, as it requires an image to be built from the code, so this video also helps make that process a bit easier.
