Current behavior

I cannot find the admin panel of shlink, to add shortened urls...

When I go to the root of the server http://ip:port, The server returns a 404 error:

I run it in docker via

services:
    shlink:
        container_name: my_shlink
        ports:
            - 8086:8080
        environment:
            - DEFAULT_DOMAIN=mydomain.com
            - IS_HTTPS_ENABLED=true
        image: shlinkio/shlink:stable

Where is the admin panel? The documentation doesn't give the admin panel path

Note: IS_HTTPS_ENABLED is set to true, but when visiting https://ip:port I have ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.

Expected behavior

Visiting the server root should give the admin panel, or redirect to it

Minimum steps to reproduce

1. Run shlink via docker compose

services:
    shlink:
        container_name: my_shlink
        ports:
            - 8086:8080
        environment:
            - DEFAULT_DOMAIN=mydomain.com
            - IS_HTTPS_ENABLED=true
        image: shlinkio/shlink:stable

1. Visit the server

Seems to be a duplicate of https://github.com/shlinkio/shlink/discussions/1423.
Maybe the documentation need more detail? Like saying that the 404 error is intended at this point, or changing the 404 error by a setup guide about the api key.

[NeilSCGH]

Solution:

1. Understand that shlink doesn't have an UI
2. Create an api key with docker exec -it my_shlink shlink api-key:generate (doc here)
3. Go to https://app.shlink.io/ and add you server

Maybe the installation documentation need to be more clearer about this.
Suggestion: if no api key were created, make the server respond with a documentation instead of a 404 error.
