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…

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.

[image] vhamon: 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 Hey @vhamon - can you explin that step by step - not familar with this setup really and need to add a file to root.

In the end, I was able to create the TXT file.

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.

Can you point us at something on formspree.io which talks about uploading a txt file?
