I'm afraid you can't. shlink-web-client runs on the browser, so every instance is different. Server IDs are randomly generated and not shared, so you can't get a predictable URL for one specific server. This was discussed some time ago, and there was even an attempt at addressing it, but I had some concerns with that approach. That PR includes my suggestion at how this could be reasonable done, if you want to give it a try. Additionally, there will eventually be a new Shlink client (so called Shlink Dashboard), which will have it's own backend, and servers will be shared among all consumers. However, this will still take some time. You can get more context here #338 |

Thank you for that. I wasn't aware of the work being done on the Shlink Dashboard. For now I just bookmarked the base URL of my web client. So it's a couple of extra clicks to get in, but not the end of the world. I mostly interact with my Shlink via a modified version of the CLI based on this post anyway. But I'll be one of the first in line to try the new dashboard when it arrives. |
