Hello
I’m looking for a single container solution akin to the old FAMP jail on TrueNAS Core, but for the latest version of TrueNAS Scale, I just need a web server to toss HTML files at to host.
Also, random thought: why on earth do we have so many home page and dashboard apps?
My server is currently running ElectricEel-24.10.2 on an Intel I5-8500T with 32GB of RAM and a 6x2TB RAIDZ2 storage array.
Do you just need to serve static HTML, or do you need the PHP and MySQL/MariaDB too? If the former, just pick whatever webserver you like (I’m fond of Caddy, personally) and install it as a custom app. Done.
If you need MariaDB and PHP as part of it, find a compose file for a LAMP stack and use that.
Probably because they’re easy to package, people want some kind of a dashboard, and tastes vary widely.
I agree with Dan, fond of Caddy also which has the benefit of also being able to be used as a reverse proxy should you need one. Caddy hosts my custom app images.
personally if it just static HTML - just throw it up on AWS S3 or something similar. Just too much work just to host static HTML and secure the server.
AFAIK any decent webserver can be used in this way–certainly Apache and Nginx can. Of course, Caddy is vastly easier to configure.
I’m now using Traefik as my main reverse proxy, and that’s primarily because I can configure each app/target using Docker labels without having to touch Traefik’s configuration. But I still use Caddy as a webserver, as well as for some proxy duties.
I am using Caddy exactly like you say, with labels. So, it can do that just like Traefik.
