I’m focusing on BasicUI to begin with so that I can get things set up as quickly as possible.
It works great, and I can access it through http://openhab.lan/basicui/app?sitemap=default
(having set up a local DNS name) but have not been able to find a link to the basic UI from the main page. Where is it? Is there one? If not, how do I make one?
With the DNS alias it’d be great if I could tell trusted house guests to go to openhab.lan, click on the Basic UI link, bookmark, there’s the home automation controls.
That sounds excellent! I would love to do that – but how does a second DNS name forward to the right URL? A DNS entry only forwards to an IP doesn’t it?
You can install nginx, what’s documented as revers proxy for openhab & included in openhabian, and add additional servers to the config.
If you google for nginx & virtual host / server block you should find a few tutorials.
But I need to admit, that theoretically it should work, but I have not tested it …
