Internal Tools Portal
Single-domain landing portal that links and brands the entire suite of internal tools, deployed on a hardened VPS with TLS automation.
Overview
mikesport.tech is the unified entry point to the team's internal tools. Static, fast, public-facing without exposing any internal data, and deployed on a hardened VPS with auto-renewing TLS.
Problem
As the internal tool count grew (delivery dashboard, enrichment, PIM, PM tool, marketing dashboard, HR system, SEO engine), people kept losing the URLs. Bookmarks and Slack pins drifted. The team needed a single canonical place that always pointed at the right tool.
Approach
Build a static portal at one domain that links out to every subdomain. Keep it absurdly simple: zero backend, zero database, zero secrets. Hard-link every internal tool with proper branding and a one-line description.
Architecture
- Frontend: Static HTML + CSS, hand-written.
- Hosting: Hostinger VPS (shared with other internal services).
- Web server: Nginx with a single vhost block per subdomain.
- TLS: Let's Encrypt via certbot, auto-renewing.
Tech stack
- Frontend: Static HTML, single CSS file, logo asset
- Server: Nginx
- TLS: Let's Encrypt + certbot
Engineering highlights
- Minimal attack surface: no backend, no DB, no secrets, no auth. There's nothing to compromise.
- Single-pane navigation: every internal tool one click away.
- Auto-TLS: certbot renewal cron, no human in the loop.
Outcome
Live at https://mikesport.tech. The team's canonical entry point to everything internal.
