I currently have 2 websites across 2 servers:
- example.com (Wordpress)
- forum.example.com (Discourse)
I plan to discontinue the Wordpress site and update my Discourse Domain to take its place, resulting in:
- example.com (Discourse)
- forum.example.com (Redirect to example.com)
I’ve done a little experiment to see how this will all work out on the day:
- Update Discourse settings to use
example.com
Domain - Update DNS record of
example.com
to point to Discourse server
And here is where I run into an issue:
- Load the old domain of
forum.example.com
redirects toexample.com
(as expected) - Load the old domain of
https://forum.example.com
displays “Your connection is not private” instead of redirecting.
I appreciate this is related to SSL Certificates but not having worked with Docker or Let’s Encrypt before, I’m not sure what to do next.
