Static Site
Drop files in, get a website
An nginx serving one folder on the shared pool. Put HTML, a built React app, a set of photos or a PDF in there and it is reachable on the network — no build step, no CMS, no database. Useful for the small things that do not deserve WordPress.

webappInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install webappWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Static Site | :8095 | No account of any kind — it serves files and nothing else. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- The folder is www/ on the pool — File Browser is the easy way to put things in it without SSH
- index.html is the page you get at the root. Without one, nginx returns 403 rather than listing the directory
- It serves whatever is there to anyone who can reach the port, with no login. Do not use it for anything you would not put on a noticeboard
