I use nginx to handle the routing to different systems and docker ports so it helps when I fiddle with that config to see “server online” that I shoved in a basic html page for the base domain.
I used to run Nextcloud there but I’ve had so much trouble with nextcloud that I barely use it at all now and I worried it was too easily discoverable for something I wasn’t confident was configured properly.
Right now it’s Homepage, but I have an Apache web server I want to move onto my base domain
I just leave the default "this is a website hosted with x" page as the default, since I only use it as a file repository.
A linktree like page that links to all my social media.
Used to have nginx point the default location to an abyss web server, but I didn't carry the setup forward when I upgraded the OS. It's a 503 now.
Several other locations are pointing to:
- my homebrewed file server. Initially to replace abtssws's piss poor directory listing performance, but now a frankensteinian being that has a comic reader of my own build, specs, and preference.
- an icecast server streaming whatever my foobar2k is playing, so I can listen to my library on the go.
A small amount of text and a link to my mastodon profile.
I just run a hand-coded listing of my services, each with two links: the public subdomain and the internal ip:port.
I have tried semi-clever tools (like homarr) but they're just not worth the effort. Simple html+css wins.
I pipe fortune through cowsay through lolcat through aha with header and footers going through toilet.
And that makes for a very useful home page 🤣
