How to have ssl on a non subdomain

Is there a possibility to have my nornal domain using https like my subdomain forum.example.com?

Im redirecting example.com to forum.example.com

This can be achieved in multiple ways, Easiest will be to use your domain with cloudflare with following settings:

  1. example.com - Cloudflare enabled, SSL served by cloudflare and Page rule set up to forward all requests to forum.example.com
  2. forum.example.com - Cloudflare disabled (certificate managed by discoruse itself)

alternatively, you can also set up a reverse proxy like nginx and terminate ssl from there, Generate letsencrypt ssl for your reverse proxy and then from nginx, set the appropriate redirect.
