Reflink on Self-Hosted VPS
Host it on your own $5 VPS — your data, your domain, your rules, with no per-seat pricing ever.
Setup on Self-Hosted VPS
Get the code
Clone or download Reflink from the repository (https://github.com/bensblueprints/affiliate-tracker-mvp) — the README documents the setup.
Deploy on your own server
Self-host on your own VPS or server — Docker or the one-command setup from the repo README. Point your domain at it when you're ready.
Keep your data yours
Your data stays on hardware you control — no third-party cloud, no per-seat pricing, no telemetry back to us.
Because Reflink is self-hosted, "offline" is your call — run it on a LAN or behind a VPN and it never touches the public internet.
Reflink on Self-Hosted VPS — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the source is MIT and always will be at github.com/bensblueprints/affiliate-tracker-mvp. The $39 buys a packaged Windows installer with updates; building from source is free.
Where does my affiliate data live?
On your server. Reflink is one Node process and one SQLite file that you own, and visitor IPs are stored only as salted hashes, never raw.
