Over the years I accumulated very many services which I host myself and each of them has it’s own URL:

  • 6 websites, mine and my sisters
  • 3 instances of home assistant
  • Uptime Kuma
  • Synology with photos on it
  • Matrix server
  • Firefox sync
  • TinyTinyRSS
  • Mastodon
  • PeerTube
  • PieFed
  • Immich
  • Open WebUI (for local large language models)
  • UniFi (CCTV)
  • Baïkal (Cal- and CardDav)

I’m probably forgetting some of them now and I’m planning to host more in the future.

The problem is how to remember all of those URLs or domains. I have a system how I call them, but my extended family can’t really remember them.

I think it’s time for a landing page. Do you guys have any suggestions?

    Homepage

    Gives you a nice dashboard that you can configure however you like. It includes integration with a ton of existing services, as well as docker.

    My setup:

    Clicking on each service will open it’s respective url.

    The ‘healthy’ indicator at the top right of each service is it’s container health. Clicking on that will expand to show cpu, ram and network usage. Some of these services/docker hosts are on separate machines; it all integrates together nicely.

    I use Homerr which is really simple, but you could also use Heimdall or some other options here

    Static, hand coded html. You can be as pretty as you want to be. A good learning exercise and since it is all static it will be fast and won’t have more security issues.

      I have everything in bookmarks but the discoverability of them in my browser is not very good for the rest of the extended family.

        Honestly, a landing page for me is just another thing I need to mess with. Bookmarks and using keywords to load them is so easy. Once they’re in a bookmark, I’m just using keywords to get back to wherever they are. Super easy.

            I wouldn’t. People can bookmark their own things. Honestly, with browser histories being so readily accessible to recall sites anymore, I feel like isn’t a problem that people struggle with. Probably why you’re not getting much traction here for your specific angle.

              Actually I feel there are many very good suggostions here already like:

              • Homepage
              • Heimdall
              • Static page with HTML links and CSS
              • homarr
              • Flame
              • organizr
              • Jump
              • glance

              It’s more than I expected already.

      Homepage is great, especially if the services are deployed on docker or Kubernetes. You can just add some metadata to each service and Homepage will automatically pick them up. No need to remember to update it directly for a new service.

    I just hacked a simple HTML page for this, with big mobile friendly buttons.

    That page is served by nginx in my server and is my default home page on my phone and desktop.

      Hm interesting, no icons and no status indicator. At the same time over time you probably got it into your muscle memory where to press quickly. It’s intriguing.

        My requirement with this page is it has to load really fast, because I return to it often while working / browsing. So yeah, it’s really lightweight and easy to maintain, as things come and go. The source is stored in Forgejo! (the “Code” button there).
