What Slink actually does
Slink is a self-hosted platform for uploading and sharing images through drag-and-drop or single-click actions. It runs via Docker under the AGPL-3.0 licence, providing an alternative to third-party media hosts while keeping your files on your own infrastructure.
Best fit: Self-hosters who want a dedicated, private endpoint for sharing screenshots or image files without relying on external services.
Worth knowing: The image-sharing category has many mature alternatives, meaning you should check whether its specific feature set meets your workflow before migrating.
Deployment notes
Because it runs in Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for your uploaded media and place it behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
