It won’t supposed to work on Cloudflare basic plan? It can be implemented from Nginx? We are planning to use SSO with Ghost and I see that same domain is more easy and sustaniable.

SSO has nothing to do with subfolder. Even if discourse is on a different domain altogether, sso shall still work.

Maybe you don’t checked the link that I posted before. And yes, it has a lot to do with SSO because SSL certificates and a lot of things that I wouldn’t compromise for avoiding to configure reverse proxy. I’m talking about Ghost and Discourse single-login implementation. Sorry but I don’t get your message. You are not giving warranties of nothing so your comment is totally useless. No data, not links, only repeating something totally out of context.

You can configure sso without subfolder. It’s easier with a subdomain. I looked at the link and don’t see anything there that would suggest otherwise. You can configure ssl on both subdomains. That too will be easier than using a reverse proxy which is required for subfolder.

So that’s a fake one? Secure (recommended): Mirrors the authentication that Ghost uses to authenticate members. Requires DoG to sit on the same domain (not a subdomain) as your Ghost site

That’s a requirement for their Bridge (discourse on ghost) to be installed on the same domain as your ghost site. that doesn’t implicate that Discourse needs to be installed on a subdirectory. I hope this makes things clear.

Right. If you really want to use that method of installation rather than what’s described here, you can. You can get support from them rather than here, as it’s a non standard installation. Using Discourse connect on separate subdomains will be easier to install and maintain.

Hi @satonotdead :slight_smile: I’ve split your posts off into a dedicated topic, so you may want to consider adding more details to what is now the OP. :+1: (I’m afraid this is not an area I know a huge amount about, so it may need a better title and tags, etc :slight_smile:) In general, subfolder installs are much more difficult to technically maintain than a standard subdomain setup. If you don’t get the answers you’re looking for through our community support you may want to try and get specialist help using the #marketplace category instead. :+1:

[image] JammyDodger: In general, subfolder installs are much more difficult to technically maintain than a standard subdomain setup The only question that I made (and still without any answer) is why and what can be wrong with that? Thanks for your efforts moderating the forum. But I’m afraid that you can split, add more tags, more description and the question will be still the same. Really do you think that #marketplace is the place for that question? I thought that Meta was a place for discussions, maybe I was wrong.

I don’t think so.

It’s much harder to use a subfolder, and offers no benefits. My clients who once used a subfolder have all moved to subdomains.

The instructions describe how to run them both on the same machine.
