Splash page for all servers?

[Pr3dict]

Hi all,

So I'm almost done with my entire home setup. It's taken a few months but I almost have it exactly where I want it.

However! I have so many different servers/ devices I need to connect to that need managing every once and awhile and I was hoping to make like a splash page/ home page to link everything from.

Instead of remembering each IP address for Access point 1-3 and switch 1 and router 1 and the file server, mediaserver, VPN server, tv tuner, UPS, etc. etc. etc... It would be cool to create like a basic homepage for it all.

Now, I am not very inclined in making websites per say so I was hoping someone knew of some kind of web application or guide that would have this type of thing for me. If all else fails I would love peoples recommendations for this as it would really be the icing on the cake at this point.

Thanks!

IPMIview ?

IPMIview won't work. It works for IPMI but not for all the random router and AP interfaces.

There's Office365 Excel and Google Sheets too.

pfSense - dhcp leases page - add static mappings for things you want to find and you can add a description. Otherwise you have to go by the name.

Not much help if you don't use pfSense and unfortunately the table is not clickable.

But, it is what I use when I can not remember if I called something "garage-switch-3" or "switch3" or ...

Thanks for the answers so far. I am using PFSense and have static DHCP mappings for a lot of the devices. I was hoping there was a more graceful approach haha

I made a custom map in PRTG for my network. You can set whatever custom links you want for each device, it can tell the up/down/ping status, SNMP data, graph data, etc.. Also, PRTG is free for up to 100 "sensors". It should cover most small/medium size home networks.

Do you have a web server with PHP installed? If not, do you have command line PHP installed somewhere?

You can go to your pfSense Diagnostics->backup/restore menu and save your"DNS Resolver" configuration. It will save it to a file called "unbound-config-<some stuff about your host>-<date>". Copy or rename to "un.xml" or edit the script below.

Put this script on your web server with the XML file or run php on it to generate a HTML file.

Put your header text here.  It should probably have some html.

<?php
$xmlfile = "un.xml";

if (file_exists($xmlfile)) {
    $xml = simplexml_load_file($xmlfile);

    $hosts = $xml['hosts'];

    foreach ($xml as $host) {
        if (isset($host->host)) {
            echo "<a href= \"{$host->ip}\">{$host->host}</a><br />\n" ;
            //print_r($host);
        }
    }
} else {
    exit('Failed to open $xmlfile.');
}
?>

Put your footer here.

I am no PHP expert but as you can see, it is pretty easy to take the output from pfSense and generate a web page.
