Hi DOs,
I have static pages on digital spaces. Can I route my custom domain to DO space to serve those static pages.
Let me know if you need any additional question.
Thank you,
Sumit

Hello friend!
At the moment you cannot with the existing setup. However, you could do a reverse proxy to force it to work.

Hi there,
Thank you for your response. Can you share a link / pointer for steps to configure reverse proxy to force it to work.
Kind Regards,
Sumit
Sure thing! I didn’t even realize, it turns out we do have a tutorial for just this. Look at Brian being more on top of things than I am :)
Hi there, I have set up spaces but do not know how to set up the domain in my DNS, i want something like cdn.mysite.com -> DO static file
You can do that now! Take a look at this video walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETfzaw4WNiw
Here is the official product documentation with instructions: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/how-to/customize-cdn-endpoint/
Any plans to implement this? It’s really bad to maintain a reverse proxy (another moving part, lots of traffic) just to have a custom domain setup for serving static files.
