Common questions

How do I start Kutt in Docker?

Install Docker and run 'docker compose up' from the project folder. Without that, Kutt is not running, so you cannot open it or make links.

How do I create the first admin user?

Open Kutt before any users exist and it will send you to the /create-admin page. If you skip this, nobody can log in or manage the service.

Can Kutt use a custom domain?

Kutt offers custom domains for self-hosted use.

Can Kutt statistics be empty even though total clicks are counted?

Yes, one report said total clicks were counted correctly, but the statistics page was empty. That user was using a custom subdomain, docker-compose, nginx-proxy, and acme-companion.
