I need to upload a file to the web root, specifically, some SSL certificate activation file. On every other webapp I’ve ever used in my 15+ years of working in web, I could relatively easily do this with varying degree of difficulty. Only with this docker+discourse ruby thing are things so incred…

Hello, I tried to put a .txt file into /var/discourse/shared/standalone, giving it www-data read rights. After rebuilding app, the file is still not available to public. Nginx need to be configured ? How ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Valentin.

I found by myself a simple solution by adding a custom command in app.yml : run : exec : echo “MY_KEY” > /var/www/discourse/public/KEY_NAME.txt

I’m still struggling to find a way to upload a domain verification for Mailjet. I can’t create a subdomain, so I would prefer the txt file method of verification. Where can I place the .txt file within the Discourse folder? Thanks! Ryan

Hey @Ryan_Nix - did you find a way to do that? struggling to do the same.

Would you mind sharing how exactly you did it?

Sure. I created a TXT record at my DNS provider Cloudflare which was enough to validate the domain.

It’s always going to be easier here to use DNS records for domain verification.

Thanks, unfortunately, the service I use ( formspree.io ) requires verification with a txt file, and I have no idea how to add it.
