I have many services running under subdomains but my host domain still returns a 404 and im not sure what to put there.

Thanks!
I’m embarrassed to say the default page. Many moons ago I used to host a wordpress blog there but I’m exceptionally lazy and rarely ever posted. The upkeep on Wordpress just wasn’t worth the hassle.
Every so often I think about starting a basic tech blog for those, “hey here’s how I fixed this weird edge case”, posts that have saved my butt 1000x over.
Used to have nginx point the default location to an abyss web server, but I didn’t carry the setup forward when I upgraded the OS. It’s a 503 now.
Several other locations are pointing to:
It’s just a page that displays the visitors ip address. I’ve been trying to get it to work with curl like how icanhazip.com works to display the ip in command line but haven’t made it that far yet.
Kinda surprised how few mentions this has. I use it for my personal website which I made using Hugo. That’s what I used it for even before I was hosting any services.
Always wanted a “personal” website but felt I wasn’t creative enough to create anything useful enough… Maybe a wiki was the best I could come up with
Care to share what you use the website for exactly?
It’s basically just an extended resume. A place with links to my Github, LinkedIn, and projects I’ve done.
I’m not creative at all either, very bad at front end stuff. I used a Hugo theme for most of the website.
I’ve read many times that If in doubt turn it into a blog and write down whatever you have learned that day. I have an entry that is simply a how to list all local variables in python.
I just leave the default “this is a website hosted with x” page as the default, since I only use it as a file repository.
lemmy ;)
Mine returns a 404, but on purpose. Everything I want internet-facing is behind a cloudflare tunnel on appropriate subdomains.
I do something similar, then fail2ban immediately bans the ip for a few hours. The only people going to my root domain are people i do not want sniffing around. It also does the same if you dont pass in my domain at all (and are just hitting random ips).
That’s great!
I’m using very advanced technology and my base domain is actually served directly on the client side. It’s the very extreme version of edge computing.
When you visit it, you get some version of the “site not found” page. I just didn’t bother to set any A or AAAA record for the base.
A index.html file that says “There’s nothing here”. Not even a special http status. I have subdomains with freshrss, dokuwiki, XBackBone, and whatever I’m tinkering with, but I can’t be bothered to maintain anything public. I guess I have personal websites I haven’t touched since 2012?
My personal portfolio website with resume for job hunting.
JS powered “matrix code”.
Right now it’s Homepage, but I have an Apache web server I want to move onto my base domain
