Hello guys, I am installed Ghost 3.25 to build custom theme on Manjaro Linux running Node.js 12. I want to build custom home page such that when I open `localhost:2368` I need to see the custom home page. For this I created `home.hbs`.

`routes.yaml` looks like this:

```auto
routes:
  /:
    data: page.home
    template: home

collections:
 /blog/:
  permalink: /blog/{slug}/
  template: index
  filter: slug:-home

taxonomies:
 tag: /tag/{slug}/
 author: /author/{slug}/

```

`home.hbs`:

```auto
{{> navigation}}

<div class="container-fluid home-landing">
    some home content
</div>

```

`default.hbs` is same as in caspter theme. `index.hbs` is empty.

With above config, I am getting 404 page on `localhost:2368`.

- How was Ghost installed and configured?  
`ghost install`

- What Node version, database, OS & browser are you using?  
Node.js 12, OS: Manjaro Linux (Arch Linux), Chormium

- What errors or information do you see in the console?  
No errors in the console. `ghost start` works without any error.

- What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having?  
I am not sure. How about using my `routes.yaml`?

Thanks

Have you created (and published) a page (not post) with a slug of `home` ?

I don’t think I did. Can you please tell me how I do that ?

somehow, removing the line `data: page.home` (line 3) worked. Thanks for the hint.
