Hey everyone,
I recently finished migrating my reverse proxy to a new location. All my services are reachable again via their own subdomains (jellyfin.example.com, books.example.com, cloud.example.com, etc.).
However, I noticed my root domain (example.com) is currently sitting empty, and it feels kinda like a waste.
I’m looking for inspiration on what to host there, but I’m paranoid about security. I really don't want to put a dashboard (like Homepage/Heimdall/Homarr) publicly on the root because it feels like exposing an index of everything I’m running.
What is everyone else hosting there?
- A generic "Under Construction" page?
- A simple 404 page?
- A server status page?
- A stealthy static resume/CV?
- A honeypot?
- A hard redirect to a specific service or website? I also had the idea of a page to put some of my art on or something like that.
Curious what others are doing.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
