What's Updog.link? 🐶

Updog.link is an ad-free, open-source URL shortener that anyone can deploy and run. Make a link at whats.updog.link; shortlinks live at updog.link/<slug>.

Why does this exist?

Aside from being a free shortlink service with a sick name, this project is a compact intro to Infrastructure as Code and serverless cloud technologies. Also you get to have your own shortlink service. It doesn't collect information to track you or anyone else.

Run your own

It's one Cloudflare Worker and one R2 bucket, deployed with Terraform, and fits entirely in Cloudflare's free tier. See SELF_HOSTING.md for how it works and the ten-minute setup.

Is there an API?

Yes — the page is just a client of it.

curl https://updog.link/api/links/github

See the API docs for creating links and the rest of the resource.

But no, really, what is "Updog?"

Nothin' much. What's up with you?
