Where are you users coming from when they arrive at your Discourse instance?

If you use WordPress there’s a plugin which handles single sign-on and can be tweaked to provision users into groups automatically after they pay for a subscription or product. If you use Patreon or Memberful there are also plugin options there.

Basically, the form for invite requests is published directly at `my-discourse-website.com/login` page

Users need to fill out a short questionnaire and specify why they want to join our platform (we are a group engaged with community outreach, public legislation proposals etc.)

There is also a form on an inner custom page accessible by members where they can request an invite for a friend. All invite requests are reviewed by moderators.

Actually, I’ve also got a reply from Jeff Atwood with regards to adding a file to web root:

> [@Adding a file to Discourse web root folder?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-a-file-to-discourse-web-root-folder/102466/4):
>
> This is not possible. You need to verify through DNS records.

So I will be seeking other options. Thank you for the tips about Memberful and WP plugins, I’ll explore them further.

This is an old thread but just wanted to close the loop. Formspree doesn’t require this root level text file verification any longer.

Docker 설치 환경에서 웹 루트에 파일을 생성하는 정확한 방법은 무엇일까요? 4년이 지났는데도 여전히 명확하지 않습니다.

DNS 레코드를 생성하는 것이 훨씬 쉽다는 데에는 동의합니다.

제 사용 사례는 포럼을 관리하면서 서버에 대한 완전한 접근 권한을 가지고 있지만, DNS 설정을 관리하는 사람에게 매번 요청해야 하는 것이 싫고, 그 사람이 처리하는 데도 상당한 시간이 걸리기 때문입니다.

그건 불가능합니다. DNS 방법이 유일한 방법입니다.
