Setting module page as home page in Orchard

I have a module in which I created a custom page with controller and some logic. Works fine. I need that page to function as home page for my site. I found some topics about implementing IHomePageProvider, but that seems to be impossible because I can't find the definition of IHomePageProvider in the Orchard core. So I know there are some topics on this subject, but I didn't manage to find a solution that way, so therefore this question.

When working with Orchard Core (Orchard 2) there is setting with Home Route, which you can specify.

You can set it in your recipe.json file:

{
  "name": "settings",
  "HomeRoute": {
    "Action": "Index",
    "Controller": "ControllerName",
    "Area": "AreaName"
  }
}

or probablly later:

RouteValueDictionary newHomeRouteValue = ...;

var site = await _siteService.GetSiteSettingsAsync();
site.HomeRoute = newHomeRouteValue;
await _siteService.UpdateSiteSettingsAsync(site);

You can define a home Route and Controller associated with this route. Take a look how it's accomplished in the CulturePicker module: HomeRoutes and LocalizableHomeController

That is because it was removed at the same time as the routable part. This is now done using Alias.
