Stop random domain to point on my IP ( Ghost one click droplet)

Posted February 25, 2021
Ghost Nginx

Really happy about the one click process. For reasons I don’t really understand, a random domain ( not mine) created a A record to my IP, serving my ghost content ( with a invalid certificate warning). What is the official “ghost” way to block theses? Happy to investigate nginx conf files, but maybe ghost cli has special options I missed? Thank you

Hi there,

What I would usually do in this case is to create a separate Nginx server block for my main domain and a default Nginx server block that would handle all other host names and only serve a default page.

For more information on how to setup Nginx server blocks you could take a look at the following tutorial:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
