Apologies for this being the millionth question about this topic, however I’m still struggling to understand my issue even after looking over many of them!
I have an app deployed to Netlify (gearcloset.io). I have purchased the domain from Namecheap. I also want to deploy a Discourse app to DigitalOcean at the url forums.gearcloset.io.
Currently when I visit the forums url, I receive a “Not Secure” message as well as an error:
Not Found - Request ID: 01G556NQZSCTM4DVHBK6TDGRAZ
I think I’m very close, I’m just getting extremely confused knowing what records to put where! Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

Hi @jimmiejackson,
Depending on where your DNS is being managed, you need to create an A record for your subdomain forums.gearcloset.io and point it to your Droplet’s IP address. Here is a Docs Page on how you can achieve that :
https://docs.digitalocean.com/tutorials/dns-registrars/
After you’ve pointed your subdomain to your Droplet, you can install Discourse and do whatever you need with it. Here is a tutorial you can follow for the installation:
