Sign updietpi: Install services on dedicated domains #3438
Comments

@Krawei This should be possible via simple rewrite rule, as long as both domains are pointing to your server and your HTTPS certificate is valid for all wanted domains. However note that a subdir has the larger advantage that bots do usually not scan those for known scripts to try brute-forcing against. If you have a known website available on the root of a domain, then expect that you will see an increasing number of failed logins from bots all over the world. On subdirs I never see those. Not a real problem but at least the logs could be annoying when searching for "real" issues |
Creating a feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:
I've issued a let's encrypt certificate with alternate names and would love to use it with lighttpd and dedicated domains.
Describe the solution you'd like:
For instance according to the nextcloud hardening guide https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/18/admin_manual/installation/harden_server.html I would love to be able to install nextcloud with lighttpd on an dedicated domain (like nc.domain.tld instead of the current domain.tld/nextcloud behavior)
Describe alternatives you've considered:
Maybe it is possible to ask the user which method he prefers meanwhile the installation progress (dedicated url or subdirectory)
I hope you'll like my rfe :) .
