How to add a domain?

• Link a directory to a domain:

  • Create a file named CNAME with the desired domain as its content.
  • Put it in the directory which is supposed to be linked to this domain.

  Example:

  .
  └── blog/
      ├── CNAME                    # content: awesome.com
      ├── index.html
      └── another-file
  

  When publishing blog, its CID will be linked to awesome.com if its provider is properly configured.

• Link a file to a domain:

  • Create a file with a name of the target file suffixed with .CNAME, and fill its content with the desired domain.
  • Put the file in the same directory as the target file.

  Example:

  .
  └── anywhere/
      ├── target.html
      └── target.html.CNAME        # content: awesome.com
