Hello! I have successfully created my blog instance with Ghost droplet and already do some customization. Now i need to create robots.txt file. I googled, that i need to create robots.txt under my theme folder. But when i try to access it i get 404 error and i see in my adress line hostname/robots.txt/ (with slash). I read that i need to configure nginx to serve this file correctly. But i have no experience in this, so if somebody can help me with that - it will be very good :)

Hello there,
The robots.txt needs to be inside the public_html directory of your site and then you can request reindexing from Google’s Developer Tools portal

Hope that this helps!
