A service I use needs to verify ownership of my website by asking me to create a text file with a string in the web root folder: https://mydiscoursewebsite.com/verify.txt So I cd /var/discourse, then ./launcher enter app do I just create the file in that folder or navigate elsewhere?

Adding a file to Discourse web root folder?

This is not possible. You need to verify through DNS records.
