I’m trying to find out how to make a subdomain appear as a subfolder ie:
if I have -
forum.example.com
but I want to browse to -
example.com/forum
to find it rather than have it available at forum.example.com
also - how would I work this with SSL?
should I add forum.example.com to the certificate? or would it be covered under example.com?
Thanks for any pointers!

Hi @bigjohnny
Are you using Apache or Nginx?
If you don’t want to use forum.example.com anymore, then you can setup redirects to example.com/forum/
And then you only need to add HTTPS to example.com since you’re not going to actively use forum.example.com
Hi @hansen I’m using Nginx..
I haven’t even set it up yet, so I am not using forum.example.com at all, but deploying with dokku I think its easiest to deploy the app to that subdomain.
Thanks for the advice, redirecting seems like a pretty easy option as well,
Cheers,
Johnny
I would recommend that you set it up like it should work. So take advantage of Nginx’s simple configuration structure and use the location /forum/ { … } for the Dokku app instead of it’s own server { … } block.
OK - not sure how I’d do that but will look into it and give it a try
Thanks!

When you got some configuration to show, then post it here if you want help.
It’s almost the same configuration - just instead of having the entire server block you would only use the location and specific proxies/etc for that location.
