Help with apex domain redirect using Appwrite Sites
Can someone provide guidance on how to redirect traffic from apex/root domain to a www subdomain using Appwrite Sites as the DNS manager. What I've done so far:
- Changed the domain registrars nameservers to point at appwrite servers
- Created custom apex domain, verified, and targeting active deployment
- Created the www subdomain targeting the active deployment
- Created a DNS ALIAS record for apex domain pointing at www subdomain
The current configuration allows visitors to see/use both the apex and www subdomain. I would like all traffic following the apex domain to land on the www subdomain but can't find anyway of changing the target from "Active deployment" to "Redirect". Do I have to delete the apex domain from Appwrite Sites Console and re-create as a redirect? Does this cause issues/errors/downtime I should account for?
TL;DR
Developers are seeking help to redirect traffic from the apex domain to a www subdomain using Appwrite Sites. After changing domain registrars' nameservers and creating DNS records, they're unable to find a way to change the target from "Active deployment" to "Redirect." To achieve this, they may need to delete the apex domain from Appwrite Sites Console and recreate it as a redirect, potentially causing downtime.
