Option in the UI to change default route

[Johnnycyan]

I want to be able to change the default behavior of redirecting domain.com to domain.com/dashboard and instead be able to specify another url to redirect domain.com to and only go to the dashboard if specifically entered.

This way I can have for example:

• domain.com -> youtube.com
• domain.com/dashboard -> zipline dashboard
• domain.com/shortlink -> whatever the short link is

the use case of this is so that users can go to the base domain and have it redirect them to the creator's social page, whereas admins can still access dashboard without affecting the normal users.

I manually hardcoded a url in the index file in src/server/index.js for my own use cases but obviously this is not ideal.

All that would need to be changed is adding the UI option and then changing this code at line 155 in src/server/index.ts

if (!argv.includes('--skip-next')) {
    server.get('/', (_, res) => res.redirect('/dashboard'));
    server.next('/*', ALL_METHODS);
    server.next('/dashboard', ALL_METHODS);
    server.next('/reload', ALL_METHODS);
  }

to this:

if (!argv.includes('--skip-next')) {
  server.get('/', (_, res) => res.redirect(USER_SPECIFIED_BASE_URL : '/dashboard')); // Use the user defined value if specified
  server.next('/*', ALL_METHODS);
  server.next('/dashboard', ALL_METHODS);
  server.next('/reload', ALL_METHODS);
}

where USER_SPECIFIED_BASE_URL is the url set in the UI
