How can anonymous users actually see the anonymous board?
I am trying to make a "landing page" for users when they go to my main URL. I have made a board, and toggled on the allow anonymous toggle, but when I visit the site logged out, I just see the default "Welcome to Homarr!" page and don't see any other options besides logging in or changing the theme. I feel like a total noob, and the answer must be obvious 😅

Unauthenticated users will always go to the "default" board, as the default board setting setting is per user.
Here are a couple of suggestions :
1. Migrate the board you want them to see to default.
2. Link them directly to ./board/YOURBOARD
3. Put a link to YOURBOARD on the default board.
Ah ok, the default board being a setting per user makes sense. So I can't change the "default" default board aside from editing the notebook then
You can edit the entire default board and all the apps and widgets on it (so long as you are logged in as a user with edit permissions)
Personally, I've set up my default as just a linking board to other boards.
I can't see a way to edit the default board at all? Whenever I am logged out and visit Homarr, all I can see is the "Welcome to Homarr!" page with links to the homarr discord and documentation, and a way to switch theme and log in. Are you saying there is a way to change that built in board somehow? I cannot find it in settings anywhere...
Can you show me a screen shot of the board you are looking at?
This toggle on board customisation page will allow unauthenticated users to see your board
Otherwise, the default board should be editable the exact same way as every other board.
This board is what I am talking about. Even when I make a new board and toggle that "Allow anonymous" toggle and set that board as default, when I am logged out, I still only see this board. And this board does not seem to exist anywhere when I log in as administrator and go to boards
Your default.json was deleted somehow, so homarr is pulling a fresh one live every time.
Copy or rename the board you would to be default to 'default.json' inside your configs folder.
'default board' is a per user setting, so will only apply when logged in
Ah ok thanks, I will try that later 🙂 appreciate the help!
I named my own default board "Default" not knowing that that was a special name...oops. So everything is fine now!
Hello, I'm having issues as well. I set a board to be default and allowed anonymous and on my subdomain it asks for you to login.
I can access it at
homarr.example.com/board/public
But I would like for it go to straight to that url from homarr.example.com. Is this possible?In short, no.
The default setting is by USER only.
Any unverified users will go to **/board/default
Clone your public board, replace default with it, job done.
Oh oh oh. I see. Thank you. I just had to set the default board to anonymous as well.
Thanks so much. I'll recreate my public board there.
