What does it take to use Surfer as a “real” multidomain surfer?

@timconsidine thanks for the reminder I posted a follow up at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/16009/surfer-v7-new-cli-deploys-app-passwords/5

Great. 75% done. What’s still missing? Redirecting to the correct domain.

Current setup:
Location = default location
Aliases = match the site configuration in Surfer
Redirects = redirect to the location

For a “real” multi-domain app, I need configuration options for this typical use case:
www.example.org
www.example.com

example.org redirects to www.example.org, and example.com redirects to www.example.com. As I understand it, that’s currently not possible.

right, redirects are platform feature, so the app doesn't even know about them . A workaround for now is to move the redirects as aliases instead and set up redirects manually inside surfer.

I think if we want to make this truly truly multidomain, we have to simply merge surfer into the platform itself (instead of trying to make surfer more multidomain).

edit: then again, maybe we just need a simple redirects configuration in site configuration .

Aliases are working fine for me currently.
Moved 10 of my individual Surfer deployments into a single Surfer with the Site facility.
I haven't found a "smart" may to move content : I just download the individual deployment public folder, then uninstall the deployment, then create the alias and the site in the multi-domain deployment and re-upload the files from individual public dir into the new location. Manual but it gives me the chance to review/curate as I go.
