How do you use shlink-web-client

Summary

How do you use shlink-web-client
I've tried both self hosted and https://app.shilink.io

Nginx nginx version: nginx/1.25.3

This seems an impossible situation :) I've been trying to get Shlink working for months and cannot figure out how. It would if could be more specific on your instructions. I believe my problem is the Core Headers, but I'm entirely because isn't allot debug options available from the Shlink side.

Note, I've tried the OpenSwoole open with reverse proxy but the example are serving it straight from a a web server, Nginx.

The initial attempt included the conf below which mirror you site but anytime you access the client your immediate kickoff to this:

-------- error ----------------
Oops! This is awkward :S
It seems that something went wrong. Try refreshing the page or just click this button.
-------- error ----------------

Config:

---------- shlink.conf -----------

server {
    if ($host = rrebel.link) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

    listen 80;
    #    listen [::]:80;

    server_name rrebel.link www.rrebel.link;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;


}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    #   listen  [::]:443 ssl;
    http2 on;
    root /var/www/shlink/public;
    index index.php;
    charset utf-8;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/rrebel.link-0001/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/rrebel.link-0001/privkey.pem; 

    access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/shilink.log combined;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/domains/shilink.error.log error;

    server_name rrebel.link www.rrebel.link;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ { 
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

---------- end shlink.conf -----------

Produces this error:

Next I tried open add Core Config by adding this in the location block

------------ revised shlink.conf --------------

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        include /etc/nginx/snippets/cors-headers.conf;    <<----------------CHANGE
    }

------------ revised shlink.conf --------------

Which includes:

-------- cors-headers.conf ----------------

set $cors '';

if ($http_origin ~ '^https?://(localhost|www\.rrebel\.link|www\.rrebel\.link|www\dashboard.rrebel\.link|www\dashboard.rrebel\.link)') {
	set $cors 'true';
}

if ($cors = 'true') {
	add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' "$http_origin" always;
	add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true' always;
	add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS' always;
	add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Accept,Authorization,Cache-Control,Content-Type,DNT,If-Modified-Since,Keep-Alive,Origin,User-Agent,X-Requested-With' always;

}

if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
	# Tell client that this pre-flight info is valid for 20 days
	add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;
	add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';
	add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
	return 204;
}

-------- cors-headers.conf ----------------

Trying a few different cars configs, including this results in not being able to find Shlink

-------- error ----------------

"Oops! Could not connect to this Shlink server.
Make sure you have internet connection, and the server is properly configured and on-line."

-------- error ----------------

even thought I still render shorts and health check comes back ok

--------- heath check -------------

curl https://rrebel.link/rest/health ] 10:19 PM

Some architectural decisions have been made in Shlink that can make it more complex to set up in certain contexts.

I would suggest giving yourls a try instead.

If you need help with the installation process, I can offer you my services. Shlink is a better option than yourls, as it runs more smoothly and efficiently.

I'm sharing an update regarding the issue which I don't think is related to CORS. While examining the server's response to the web client, I noticed that it abruptly shuts down but DOES generate a response with data, see attached files and errors.. Please refer to the attached screenshot. I'm wondering if the developer could take a look at this. This observation applies to both the self-hosted web client and the Shlink host client.

This is a Javascript crash. Can you copy the contents of the "Console" tab?
