Overview
LinkStack is a self-hosted link-sharing platform for collecting social profiles, websites, and other destinations on one customizable profile page. It aims to preserve the convenience of Linktree-style services while letting operators control their own server, themes, domains, and data.

Key features
Collect many destinations behind one customizable profile URL
A social profile can point to one LinkStack page that organizes websites, social accounts, projects, and other links.

Reduce terminal work with a setup wizard and themes
The release archive can be placed in a web root and configured from the first-run setup page, while the theme ecosystem changes presentation without rebuilding the application.
Sources: [2]
Use the official Docker image for self-hosting
The official image packages Alpine, Apache2, and PHP and supports both HTTP and HTTPS with a persistent volume.
Sources: [3]
Best fit
Fits users who do not want to hand profile data to a hosted link-in-bio provider
It is relevant when a personal or organizational profile page should run under a controlled domain and infrastructure with stronger ownership of data.

Before adoption
Use persistent storage
The Docker guide recommends persistent storage mounted at /htdocs so profile data and uploads survive container recreation.
Sources: [3]
Use HTTPS behind a reverse proxy
The Docker documentation explicitly recommends HTTPS for reverse-proxy deployments. Public instances also need certificate, domain, and backup planning.

Review AGPL-3.0 obligations for modified network services
LinkStack is AGPL-3.0 licensed, so operators offering modified versions over a network should review corresponding-source obligations.

Supplemental curator note
LinkStack provides a Linktree-style profile page that can run on your own server so profile design, links, and usage data remain under your control. It supports a simple release-zip setup flow as well as an official Docker image.
Try it in 3 steps
- 1
Pull the official image
Fetch the official LinkStack Docker image, which supports multiple architectures including amd64 and arm64.
docker pull linkstackorg/linkstack - 2
Start with persistent storage
Mount /htdocs on a persistent volume so profile data and uploads survive container recreation.
docker volume create linkstack && docker run -d --name linkstack -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --restart unless-stopped --mount source=linkstack,target=/htdocs linkstackorg/linkstack - 3
Complete the setup wizard
Configure the instance from the first-run setup page. For public deployment, set the domain and enable HTTPS, including behind a reverse proxy.
