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?

    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 used to feel much the same way. I had a pile of bookmarks and a couple permanent browser tab groups.

      That changed when I tried out Homepage

      On top of just putting all the links in one place; it was really nice to combine a bunch of information from each service to view in one place.

      Now I can look at a single page and see with a quick glance; what+how many items are queued in Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr, what’s queued or errored in Tdarr, item count/time/speed in SabNZBD/Qbit, who’s streaming what in Emby, and even CPU/RAM usage across multiple systems. (not pictured)

      I’d recommend exploring it, I didn’t think something like this was worth it until I actually tried it myself.

      How do you share your managed bookmarks with your wife, father, children, siblings?

        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.
