Hi,

is it possible to redirect the first page of a collection (e.g. first project of a portfolio) as homepage? like here in the config.php:

```auto
return [
    'home' => 'projects'
];

```

Not tested this but i think you should be able to do either of these (assuming you have a projects collection setup already):

```auto
return [
    'home' => kirby()->collection('projects')->first()->id()
];

```

or

```auto
return [
    'home' => site()->find('projects')->children()->listed()->first()->id()
];

```

looks promising, but both throw an error so far. 🙁

Hmm yes its running out of ram and needs another 20+ gigbytes, so its obviously going round in circles. Not really sure where to go from here to be honest.

You cannot call kirby() or site() in the config, unless you do so within the `ready` option. You can set your home option there:
