README
# 🔗 LittleLink-Server
LittleLink is a lightweight DIY alternative to services like [Linktree](https://linktr.ee)
and [many.link](https://many.link/).
Inspired by [littlelink](https://github.com/sethcottle/littlelink).
## 👇 What is LittleLink-Server?
LittleLink-Server is based on the great work from [littlelink](https://github.com/sethcottle/littlelink), a lightweight DIY alternative to services like [Linktree](https://linktr.ee) and [many.link](https://many.link/). LittleLink and LittleLink-Server is built using [Skeleton](http://getskeleton.com/), 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](https://youtu.be/42SqfI_AjXU) at explains everything and a live example at [links.technotim.live](https://links.technotim.live/).

## 🔧 Configuration
### Analytics Support
#### Google Analytics
See [Getting Started with Analytics](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008015?hl=en). 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.
```javascript
window.gtag('event', 'youtube-button');
```
#### Umami
See [Adding a website & Collecting data](https://umami.is/docs/collect-data) page to add and generate your tracking code.
Generated tracking code should look like:
```javascript
```
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.
```javascript
window.umami.track('youtube-button');
```
#### Matomo
See [Installing Matomo fo how to configure analytics](https://matomo.org/docs/installation/) and [how to find your site id](https://matomo.org/faq/general/faq_19212/)
Use `MATOMO_URL` for your URL and `MATOMO_SITE_ID` for your site id
Sample event for YouTube button.
```javascript
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:
```json
{
"status": "ok"
}
```
To skip express from logging these calls, add the environment variable:
```bash
SKIP_HEALTH_CHECK_LOGS=true
```
