    Is there a simple way to change/rebrand the "You found a Cloudron out in the wild!" page that displays from time to time when different things happen?
    If not, perhaps this could be moved to the suggestions forum - as it feels like a good addition to the "Basic Branding" feature set.

      Do you have a rough idea how I can reproduce this? The page should only be shown when a) if you visit by IP address post installation and b) if you point a random domain (i.e no app installed) to cloudron. It was not meant to be a branding thing, it was just a place holder page which nobody will generally see.

        Also, when an app is down, it will show the "app is not responding" page which is already brandable - https://docs.cloudron.io/branding/#custom-pages

          @girish it's also shown when visiting a url that used to have an app installed but no longer does.

          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            @jdaviescoates Yes - which also occurs if you add new domains/subdomains to an app while the app goes down to reassociate everything with itself. This meant that my live site was displaying this message briefly yesterday (the more domains/subdomains you have connected to the same app for legacy reasons the longer it takes that process to complete...)

              I once added an wildcard A Record for *.mydomain that pointed to my box. It would show the message You found a Cloudron out in the wild! message whenever I tried to open a non-existent subdomain, like foobarbaz.mydomain.

              Non-existent app:

              • File /home/yellowtent/box/dashboard/dist/splash.html
              • Message: You found a Cloudron out in the wild!
              • To test, point foobarbaz.yourdomain to the box and visit the url.

              Non-responding app:

              • File /home/yellowtent/boxdata/custom_pages/app_not_responding.html
              • Message: ...app is not responding...
              • To test, stop the app and visit the url.

              I am not sure if those files will be replaced during upgrade, but I have the following content in both of those files. 🤷

              <html>
              <head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
              <body>
              <center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>
              <hr><center>nginx</center>
              <!-- no such app / app not working -->
              </body>
              </html>
              

              It would be cool to be able to add a custom file app_not_installed.html alongside app_not_responding.html.

                @nj Really interesting. Should be added to each new Cloudron instance.

                It will be simpler - in future - to manage this directly from "Branding" section 😉

                What do you think @girish ?

                  The /home/yellowtent/boxdata/custom_pages/app_not_responding.html is safe and won't be replaced. But the splash page will get replaced.

                  I think there is a bug/unintended side effect of the change I made. I will look into fixing it. I guess splash.html is really notfound.html and this can be branded as one needs. I created https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/issues/755

                    @girish I'm not sure if this has changed in 6.1.1, but I can't seem to find /home/yellowtent/boxdata/custom_pages.

                      @jlx89 You can just create that directory. It's customizable now with notfound.html - https://docs.cloudron.io/branding/#custom-pages
