👇 What is LittleLink-Server?

LittleLink-Server is based on the great work from littlelink, a lightweight DIY alternative to services like Linktree and many.link. LittleLink and LittleLink-Server is built using Skeleton, a dead simple, responsive boilerplate—we just stripped out some additional code you wouldn't need and added in branded styles for popular services. 😊

It takes the same simple approach to a link page and hosts it within a NodeJS server with React Server Side Rendering, containerized for you to use. Now, customizing LittleLink with littlelink-server is as easy as passing in some environment variables. If you need help configuring this, please see this video at explains everything and a live example at links.technotim.live.

⭐ Features

  • Over 60+ brand buttons with more able to be requested
  • Customisable Themes

🔧 Configuration

Analytics Support

Google Analytics

See Getting Started with Analytics. After getting your GA Tracking Id, use your tracking Id as environment variable like GA_TRACKING_ID=G-XXXXXXXXXX (See the example below)

All buttons clicked will be tracked automatically if GA_TRACKING_ID exists.

Sample event for YouTube button.

  window.gtag('event', 'youtube-button');

Umami

See Adding a website & Collecting data page to add and generate your tracking code.

Generated tracking code should look like:

<script async defer data-website-id="00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444" src="https://your-umami-app.com/umami.js"></script>

Use data-website-id as environment variable UMAMI_WEBSITE_ID. Take the initial root host of src as UMAMI_APP_URL, and the name of the script (i.e. umami.js or script.js) as UMAMI_SCRIPT_NAME.

Sample event for YouTube button.

  window.umami.track('youtube-button');

Matomo

See Installing Matomo fo how to configure analytics and how to find your site id

Use MATOMO_URL for your URL and MATOMO_SITE_ID for your site id

Sample event for YouTube button.

  window._paq.push(['trackEvent', 'youtube-button']]);

Health Check

A health check endpoint exists on /healthcheck. If healthy, it will return with a 200 and the following response:

{
  "status": "ok"
}

To skip express from logging these calls, add the environment variable:

SKIP_HEALTH_CHECK_LOGS=true
