Portal? Intranet? Basic web page?

Thread Starter 
I'm having a hard time figuring out what I want to do is called and thought I would turn to the OCN community. I was thinking everyone here might be able to help guide me in the right direction. Basically I have multiple web services setup on a computer/server at home all accessed through different ports that are forwarded through the router. Instead of me remembering which port is for each of the services I thought it would be cool to put together a small page to run on the server. One I can link to the root so I can just visit say www.mysite.com and navigate the services through a small page with links and such. Aside from not being sure how to best accomplish this I'm also starting to think maybe it's not a good idea for security reasons. Just wanted to kick this idea around here and see what others thought. Thanks in advance.

If you have a HTTP authorisation (and preferably on SSL - even if it's just a self signed cert) then you should be fine. However that wont protect the webpages on other ports / not hosted by your web server (Apache?)

As of right now they are just services running like SABNzbd, CouchPotato, etc. Not really running any other web pages per say. Just looking for an easy way to get to all of the services I have running though a custom made web page or portal instead of remembering all of the ports for them.

Can't you just write a bunch of links on your page like so :
Code:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com:100">CouchPotato</a>
or
<a href="192.168.1.1:101">SABNzbd</a>
I don't know the actual ports are, just example.

You're absolutely right, I guess I was just making this a lot more complicated than it needed to be. I guess I was trying to see if there was a better way to handle what I was trying to accomplish or something this simple was all that was really needed. But you're right, that essentially does exactly what I need.

You're still best off hiding that behind http auth as you'd be exposing all the services to anyone who happens to stumble across the http daemon on your IP.

Late reply from me, but as Plan9 said you can enable Apache's HTTP Auth and require a username and password prompt before loading the webpage. It even supports encrypting the passwords smile.gif

Otherwise, you could go the more complicated, but also more elegant, route of creating subdomains.
couchpotato.domain.com
etc.domain.com
