LinkStack: The Ultimate Link Management Solution
LinkStack is a unique platform that provides an efficient solution for managing and sharing links online. Our platform offers a website similar to Linktree, which allows users to overcome the limitation of only being able to add one link on social media platforms.
With LinkStack, users can easily link to their own custom page and provide their followers with access to all the links they need in one convenient location. What sets LinkStack apart from other link management platforms is its flexibility, which allows users to host their links on their own web server or web hosting provider. This provides users with complete control over their online presence and ensures that their links are easily accessible.
Additionally, LinkStack allows other users to register and create their own links, making it an ideal solution for businesses and organizations looking to manage multiple links. With our user-friendly Admin Panel, managing and accessing other users' links is easy.
About
With LinkStack, our mission is to provide users with a free and privacy-focused solution for managing and sharing links online. We believe that everyone should have access to a customizable link-sharing platform without sacrificing their privacy and control over their data.
To achieve this mission, we offer a self-hosted option for users who want complete control over their data without having it sold to third-party companies. Our platform can be easily implemented through a simple drag and drop process, eliminating the need for complex terminal commands or source code manipulation.
For those who may not have the technical expertise to self-host, we also offer free instances of our platform while still prioritizing their privacy. Our platform offers many of the same features and options as commercial link-sharing platforms while maintaining the values of privacy and autonomy.
Our goal is to provide a free version of a link-sharing service, similar to Linktree, while empowering users to take ownership of their data. We will never sell user data and believe in providing a trustworthy and transparent solution for managing and sharing links online.

The official docker version of LinkStack. This docker image is a simple to set up solution, containing everything you need to run LinkStack.

This docker is based on Alpine Linux, a Linux distribution designed to be small, simple and secure. The web server is running Apache2, a free and open-source cross-platform web server software. The docker comes with PHP 8.0 for high compatibility and performance.
Using the docker is as simple as pulling and deploying.

When a new version is released, you will get an update notification on your Admin Panel.
Automatic one click Updater
This updater allows you to update your installation with just one click.
