    I got a user request to add a "Tile"/app to the My Apps Dashboard that only leads to an external URL (our NAS in this case).

    How can I do that easily?

    (I tried Surfer but php neither htaccess redirections worked)

    What @fbartels said. Put this in index.html or surfer (replace url):

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
       <head>
          <title>HTML Meta Tag</title>
          <meta http-equiv = "refresh" content = "2; url = https://www.cloudron.io" />
       </head>
       <body>
          <p>Will redirect shortly to https://www.cloudron.io/.</p>
       </body>
    </html>

    @imc67 surfer is a node app, it does not support php or understand .htaccess. the one thing that should work however is simple html:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh

    I did it using the LAMP app. Just edit the .htaccess within /app/data/public/

    RewriteEngine On 
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^lampapp.domain.com [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*) https://target.domain.com/$1 [R=302,L]

    To follow up here, the next release 7.3 has built-in support for external links in the dashboard, so it will be unnecessary to install some trampoline app like surfer or lamp.
