Cloudron Forum

@girish said in Social Well Known:

I tested this out quickly. Indeed, the app auto creates an id of the form @nc.domain.com . After domain change, it doesn't adapt. But I don't think this is a bug in the app. Most of the federated apps (even outside nextcloud) cannot change their domain post installation.

I thought the same!

It seems to be a bit of a bugger that, on the other hand, I located the folder for well-known but nowhere does it show the URL in the files in the well-known folder for the app.

I have messaged the developer of the app to see if they could put in the description to only install on a URL that will not change or find a way around it but I don't think the developers of federated apps have it high on their priority to make domain name changes possible.

Building on this, this would be a great feature and eliminate a lot of manual work. We typically place a security.txt file in each site, but the ability to just deploy this would be great and configure via the .well-known configuration.

I could be wrong, but could this be done at the "platform" level or would it have to be in each package?

For example, pretty easy in the WordPress Developer Package, where we just create the folder, drop the file, and add a .htaccess redirect for domain.tld/security.txt to domain.tld/.well-known/security.txt.

@jaschaezra We used to have that link in the docs but for some reason it got removed from mastodon upstream, which resulted in a broken link in our docs 🙂 Note the link I posted is actually in some fork and not upstream!

@girish I needed it to be able to properly federate with other Matrix servers. Like I said, it was pretty weird.

@girish The update for Cloudron was installed now, then the location in the Nextcloud app was saved again. Now it is error-free. Thanks for your personal support!
