Creating shortcuts to albums

I have a shared public album where anonymous users can contribute photos to an album. The album currently has a very long and difficult to type URL after the "/share/" portion of the URL. I would like to create a shortened link that can be typed in easily by a user to navigate to this album. I understand that Immich likely does not support this functionality, but I am asking for tips on how to accomplish this.

For example, I'm willing to edit the contents of my docker container and create an HTML page that redirects users to the correct long URL.
I tried doing this, but I'm not sure which container I'm supposed to be looking at. I tried editing the "immich_server" container and navigating to the www directory, where I then saw other HTML files (including index.html, etc). I placed my new HTML page in www. I see my new HTML file is owned by root (same as other HTML files previously present) and file access permissions are the same. When I try navigating to this new HTML page from a web browser, I see Immich's generic "Hmm, not sure about that. Check the logs or open a ticket? (500)". Logs for today (
docker logs immich_server
docker logs immich_server
) don't reveal anything interesting.

Any advice?
