Shlink on Nodion: questions and answers
How do I deploy Shlink on Nodion?
Sign in to Nodion, open the Shlink preset and pick a project and a region. Nodion creates the app with a managed PostgreSQL database, sets the environment variables and starts the first deploy.
Is this the same as self-hosting Shlink?
You get your own Shlink instance in your Nodion project. The difference: Nodion runs the servers, so there is no machine of your own to install and maintain.
How much does it cost to run Shlink on Nodion?
The starting setup costs about 9.50 EUR per month: Process "web" DS-G2-1GB, 1 GB RAM 4 EUR, Process "api" DS-G2-1GB, 1 GB RAM 4 EUR, PostgreSQL DS-G2-256MB, 256 MB RAM 1.50 EUR. Prices are net and billed per second. You can pick bigger sizes in the form.
What should I do after the first deploy?
Open the web client. The generated INITIAL_API_KEY is already filled in. Anyone who can reach the address can manage short links, so treat it as private. Short links use the API hostname. Visit maps stay off until you add a GeoLite license key in the application environment.
Which version of Shlink does Nodion deploy?
The preset sets the image shlinkio/shlink:5.1.7. Your app keeps that image tag until you change it on the app's Processes tab.
Can I use my own domain for Shlink?
Yes. Every app gets a default hostname with HTTPS. Add your own domain on the app's Domains tab.
Where does Shlink run?
In the region you pick: EU Central (Germany), US East and US West (United States) or APAC Central (Singapore). Build, registry and runtime stay in that region.
