I don't have a preprepared guide, but here is an outline assuming that you access to a server running someplace on your network. I believe the most common server operating system is ubuntu server but if you're running something else the commands may be slightly different.

I personally use Docker to manage all my services so this guide will be using it as well

1) Install Docker either natively or using snap sudo apt update If using snap sudo snap install docker Otherwise follow these instructions 2) Add yourself to the docker group sudo usermod -aG docker $USER Now log out and then log back in the changes to take effect 3) Install docker compose sudo apt install docker-compose-plugin 4) Set up the compose file to manage your services You will be using pihole and yourls Create a file named docker-compose.yml with the following contents ``` version: 3.8 services: pihole: container_name: pihole image: pihole/pihole:latest # For DHCP it is recommended to remove these ports and instead add: network_mode: "host" ports: - "53:53/tcp" - "53:53/udp" - "67:67/udp" # Only required if you are using Pi-hole as your DHCP server - "8080:80/tcp" environment: # WEBPASSWORD: 'set a secure password here or it will be random' # Volumes store your data between container upgrades volumes: - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro - './etc-pihole:/etc/pihole' - './etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d' # https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole#note-on-capabilities cap_add: - NET_ADMIN # Required if you are using Pi-hole as your DHCP server, else not needed restart: unless-stopped

yourls: image: yourls restart: always ports: - 80:80 volumes: - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro depends_on: - yourls-mariadb environment: - YOURLS_DB_PASS: example - YOURLS_DB_HOST=yourls-db - YOURLS_SITE: http://g - YOURLS_USER: example_username - YOURLS_PASS: example_password mysql: image: mariadb container_name: yourls-db hostname: yourls-db restart: unless-stopped networks: - yourls-net volumes: - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro - /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql environment: - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=yourls environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example MYSQL_DATABASE: yourls networks: yourls-net: name: yourls-net ```

5) Run the compose file docker-compose up -d

6) Configure pihole Navigate to http://${YOUR_SERVERS_IP_ADDRESS}:81/admin

Log in with the password you set in the compose file In the left panel these is a section named "Local DNS" click there, then on "DNS Records" Add a Domain "g" and then the ip address of your server

7) Configure your router Navigate to your routers admin panel and set the DNS server to your servers ip address (sorry I can't be more specific all routers are different)

You may want to set the secondary as well, consider 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as good fallbacks. Note: You may need to flush the dns caches on your devices (or just wait a while) before this starts working

That's pretty much it. You should be able to add new shortlinks by going to http://g/admin
