WELCOME TO PREVIEW

Ready in a few steps.

Connect your database, choose your site address and create an admin password.

Before you begin

Create an empty MySQL or MariaDB database and a user with privileges on it in your hosting panel. Setup creates the tables automatically.

Installation code

Private installation code

Open app/install.key in your hosting file manager and copy its contents here. This prevents visitors from claiming your installation.

Site & preview links

Site name

Application URL

The HTTPS address visitors use, for example https://links.example.com. Internal folders do not belong in this address.

Advanced preview options (optional)

Preview link format

Preview URL path

A virtual path such as /preview or /p; no folder is created. Changing this path affects existing links.

Preview domain (subdomain mode)

Hostname only. Subdomain mode needs wildcard DNS and HTTPS configured on your server.

Default target protocol

Available expiry times (hours)

Separate with commas: 1, 6, 24, 72. Applies to new previews.

Default expiry (hours)

Must be one of the available expiry times.

Access & connection

Allow visitors to create previews Allow other websites on this server’s public IP

Enabled by default. The application and preview hostnames themselves cannot be used as targets. Turning this off also blocks this server’s public IPs.

Require a valid HTTPS certificate on the target server

Leave certificate verification off to preview staging servers without a valid certificate. Your preview link still uses HTTPS.

Additional blocked IPv4 addresses

Optional. Separate with commas. These explicit blocks always apply; private and reserved addresses are also prohibited.

Connection timeout (seconds)

Request timeout (seconds)

Usage limits

New links per visitor per hour

Requests per preview per minute
