Uploading a file to the web root

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:

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.

では、Docker 環境でウェブルートにファイルを作成するには、具体的にどうすればよいのでしょうか?4 年経っても、まだ不明な点が残っています。

DNS レコードを作成する方がはるかに簡単であることには同意します。

私のユースケースは、フォーラムを管理しており、サーバーへのフルアクセス権を持っているものの、DNS 設定を管理している人に頻繁に頼み込むのが嫌で、対応までに時間がかかることです。

できません。DNS 方式が唯一の方法です。
