Kytelink

Kytelink is an open-source link-in-bio platform: a public profile page (kytelink.com/username) that bundles your links, an editor with a live preview, analytics, and org/team support — self-hostable end to end, no mandatory SaaS.

Quickstart

Three commands. You need Node 22+, pnpm, and Docker running.

pnpm i
pnpm run setup
pnpm dev

pnpm run setup is a one-shot interactive wizard: it asks which optional services you want (analytics, image uploads, a local email inbox — press Enter to take the defaults; Postgres + Redis are the only requirement and it runs those in Docker for you), then writes your .env with freshly generated secrets, starts the Docker services, applies database migrations, and seeds sample data. Non-interactive: pnpm run setup --all (everything) or pnpm run setup --minimal (just the database layer).

pnpm dev then starts all four apps: the editor + public profile app on localhost:3000, the marketing site on localhost:3001, the admin app on localhost:3002, and the API on localhost:3003. Run pnpm dev without setting up first and it tells you exactly what to do — nothing crashes mysteriously.
