Sharing a vanity domain with wildebeest

[xortive]

I have the domain alon.so -- I'd like to use it with wildebeest such that my mastodon username is matt@alon.so but I don't want the wildebeest read-only UI on alon.so -- I'm OK with hosting any api routes off of alon.so however.

My assumption is this would need to be something like Mastadon uses with LOCAL_DOMAIN and WEB_DOMAIN variablesspecified but you would still need to manage the well-known deployment on the local domain.

• LOCAL_DOMAIN=alon.so
• WEB_DOMAIN=social.alon.so
• a user managed route for alon.so/.well-known/host-meta?resource=acct:@alon.so which just queries social.alon.so/.well-known/host-meta?resource=acct:matt@.so with the metadata so searches can work.

@xortive You can hang just the CloudFinger .webfinger handler worker on your main domain to handle the identity lookups and host the WildeBeest on a subdomain if desired.
