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.
That’s not helpful to their question
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:
It’s more than I expected already.
