Hi guys, I have installed discourse from docker in a Ubuntu 18 server, and I’m also using digitalocean to manage my domain. My discourse installation works fine in mydomain.net, in fact, I set that domain when I setup the app ( ./discourse-setup ). Then I add an A record “www” pointing to my server ip, but when I visit www.mydomain.net, I get Your connection is not private errorr :(
How can I to dd that ‘www’ subdomain to discourse, using LetsEncrypt? I want: www redirect to non-www, and works fine with https.
I hope you can help me and sorry for my english : )

Hey friend!
Currently Discourse does not support more than one hostname. With that said, I’m running the same setup at a website of mine and I noticed that it has covered requests to www over https without error, and is redirecting them to my non-www page. I’ve not dug into the Nginx/LE config for Discourse recently, but that seems intentional. All I did was point mydomain.tld to the droplet IP, point www as a CNAME to mydomain.tld, and then installed Discourse while giving it the mydomain.tld URL to set itself up on.

hi, thanks for answer, so all should I do is add a cname subdomian “www.mydomain.com” pinting to my “mydomain.com” (wich I will set as hostname in discourse installation)?
“www” should be cname or A record? “www” should point to maindomain.com or droplet ip?
