Hi there, I would like to make sure the www subdomain redirects the users to the actual Discourse install. I feel like this needs to be the case to ensure I don’t lose visitors. Most people don’t leave out the ‘www’ when visiting websites.

That’s why you want to use a redirect, discourse can’t be served from multiple URLs. Pick one, redirect the other.

I have a similar issue and using a URL redirect record at the DNS level doesn’t solve the problem for me. I installed Discourse using the hostname ‘ www.example.com ’ and the following DNS records: A Record host:WWW value:my_server_ip CNAME host:@ value: www.ex…

Hence why I posted those links. I’d love it to be as simple as a DNS change. It didn’t seem to be that simple to me either. To work via https I had to ensure that a cert was being registered for both addresses. To achieve that use one of the guides I posted above. The other guide allows you to p…

Users are very unlikely to specify the protocol when typing in a URL. If you’re really worried about it you can just use Cloudflare for DNS and a simple page rule.

Yeah, I ‘moved’ my domain (well I just chose to cut off the www) which is why I had to serve existing links already on sites I didn’t control referring to my old domain with https. That might explain why in my case I had no choice but to do the full job. So what I think you are saying is, if you a…

Or just use a page rule as stated above. It will front the domain using a wildcard cert and redirect the traffic seamlessly. All with zero additional complexity on the Discourse server.

@Erik_Manger , DNS-based solutions didn’t work for me with SSL. I used the first link provided by @merefield and it works well.

Did you need to install Nginx in-front of Discourse to get this to work? On my Digital Ocean droplet the path “/etc/nginx/” used in the additional hooks doesn’t exist.

Nope, no additional install. Also, the only block I needed to add is: after_ssl: - replace: filename: "/etc/runit/1.d/letsencrypt" from: /--keylength/ to: "-d mywebsite.org --keylength" (http to https redirect seems to be working fine without the two other replace bl…

@Erik_Manger, DNS 기반 솔루션은 SSL 환경에서 저에게 작동하지 않았습니다. @merefield 님이 제공한 첫 번째 링크를 사용했고, 잘 작동하고 있습니다.
