I’m running a simple backend using Python (flask) and I have set up an api which returns something on my droplet. I can access it by: http://<droplet-ip>/<app_route>. This works great but for the sake of not just giving out my server’s ip directly to everyone I wanted to add my domain to it. I have set my domain’s DNS records to DigitalOcean a while ago (over a month ago) and now I want to use it.
I created an A record with example.mydomain.com and pointed it to my droplet. How do I make it so example.mydomain.com routes to the previously mentioned http://<droplet-ip>/<app_route>?
