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.
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.
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.
