Yes, having to bookmark the /plinth or /freedombox URL and using that to
reach the UI is the only downside. Other than that, it should work nicely.

We are looking to cater to this use case better an document it. We could
explicit add apps for or document some static site generators too.

19.2 should reach testing users after March 12. It is currently in unstable.

There is a way to not mess up the existing configuration files and yet
the achieve the same effect.

Create file /etc/apache2/conf-available/freedombox-alternate.conf (this
is included before /etc/apache2/conf-available/freedombox.conf). Add a
redirect there like this:

RedirectMatch "^/$" "/index.html"

Then:

a2enconf freedombox-alternate
systemctl reload apache2

This should allow you place files in /var/www/html/* and start with
'index.html' there.
