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?

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.

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

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.
