# Serve in sub path {#serve-in-sub-path}


Official distributable files and docker images have been built so that they are served from the root of a domain.

If you need to host shlink-web-client yourself and serve it from a subpath, follow these steps:

- Download shlink-web-client source code for the version you want to build.
  - For example, if you want to build `v2.3.1`, use this link https://github.com/shlinkio/shlink-web-client/archive/v2.3.1.zip
  - Replace the `v2.3.1` part in the link with the one of the version you want to build.
- Decompress the file and `cd` into the resulting folder.
- Open the `package.json` file in the root of the project, locate the `homepage` property and replace the value (which should be an empty string) by the path from which you want to serve shlink-web-client.
  - For example: `"homepage": "/my-projects/shlink-web-client"`.
- Build the project:
  - For classic hosting:
    - Download [node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/) 16 or later.
    - Install project dependencies by running `npm install`.
    - Build the project by running `node --run build`.
    - Once the command finishes, you will have a `build` folder with all the static assets you need to run shlink-web-client. Just place them wherever you want them to be served from.
  - For docker image:
    - Download [docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
    - Build the docker image by running `docker build . -t shlink-web-client`.
    - Once the command finishes, you will have an image with the name `shlink-web-client`.
