Add bal.thedev.id

[fu-sen]

I pointed to the server I use for Telnet BBS as a CNAME record.
I run this server on Caddy. It seems an unknown experience, but it will work.

Hi. For verification purposes I'll need to see the CNAME file, a screenshot or a direct link will suffice.

[fu-sen]

The CNAME you want to see is the file you use on Github Pages.
What would be ideal to show you instead in this case? Is that a project? Or is it a Caddyfile?

In the past, there was an application for Vercel, and it seems that there was also Cloudflare Pages.
It will be useful in the future when using these other web services and VPS.

[fu-sen]

Should I issue a new issue for authentication methods other than GitHub Pages? I also mention some web services so I can help.

Additional information about this application:

The point destination of CNAME, bbs.yt, is registered in FreeDNS.
https://freedns.afraid.org/domain/registry/?sort=5&q=bbs.yt&submit=SEARCH

I use this Dynamic DNS to refer to a web server Caddy running on Windows.

Is there any other information you are missing to understand?

For the future of thedev.id, I would like to proceed with the process as it is.

[fu-sen]

Of course I can generate a CNAME file that I don't actually use and submit that link to you.
https://github.com/fu-sen/bal.thedev.id/blob/main/CNAME

However, except for GitHub Pages, this CNAME is useless,

Please show me whatever method that's pointing to your desired subdomain. Be it a file, a setting, whatever. According to what you're saying it's your Caddyfile.

[fu-sen]

I was linking a CNAME, so I expected you to understand that there is a project with the source here:
https://github.com/fu-sen/bal.thedev.id

Caddyfile is tentatively set as follows. After the name server is opened, :80 will be deleted and an SSL certificate will be issued. (Caddy also issues certificates! That's a feature)

bal.thedev.id:80 {
    root * D:\Dropbox\Express5800\bal.thedev.id
    encode zstd gzip
    file_server
    handle_errors {
        rewrite * /404.html
        file_server
    }
}

Hi. It seems your supplied domain doesn't redirect to bal.thedev.id, it redirects to balloon.tel. Why is this?

[fu-sen]

Do you directly refer to the CNAME point balloon.bbs.yt? It's like looking at USER.github.io, so it's natural that you can't see it.
Do you really understand how it works and offer subdomains?

[Codeize]

Hi. I know well how this system works as I've been maintaining it for close to a year.

Our system works like this:

• You point to your subdomain that you requested. This means that your website should redirect to bal.thedev.id, not balloon.tel. This proves to us that you have linked the subdomain. Currently it redirects to balloon.tel, which a) doesn't prove to me you've linked it. b) Leads me to question why you want a subdomain here when you already have a premium TLD.
• We haven't experience with integrating with the system you use, hence why it's taking a bit longer.

[fu-sen]

No. Because you don't know Caddy. Otherwise you wouldn't have returned me the word link CNAME.

This is written in the Caddyfile. This is the result you saw.

balloon.bbs.yt {
    redir https://balloon.tel{uri} permanent
}

Can you understand Caddyfile as something like Apache's conf or .htaccess? I have already set up some domains here.

[Codeize]

Alright I've made a record with our system.

The name and target is what you provided in cname.list.

[fu-sen]

There is no point in looking at CNAME points. For example: cname.vercel-dns.com.
Let's continue here for more details on this: #83

[Codeize]

Ok. Can you explain what target you require, you submitted your PR with the target being balloon.bbs.yt.

What target do you want the target to point to?
Also please keep all details in this PR as it's solely related to your subdomain.

[fu-sen]

I checked the name server settings.
Since I use Dynamic DNS, the IP address of the A record is variable.

PS C:\Users\balloon> dig bal.thedev.id

;; ANSWER SECTION:
bal.thedev.id.          300     IN      CNAME   balloon.bbs.yt.
balloon.bbs.yt.         60      IN      A       183.177.211.113

I modified the Caddyfile. Caddy can now issue an SSL certificate:

bal.thedev.id {
    root * D:\Dropbox\Express5800\bal.thedev.id
    encode zstd gzip
    file_server
    handle_errors {
        rewrite * /404.html
        file_server
    }
}

Let's see the result:
https://bal.thedev.id/

You can close this as soon as you can confirm. I will keep the project so you can see.
Thank you for your understanding and response. You should have had a good experience for the future.

I have already explained about *.bbs,yt. I'm using this for Dynamic DNS:
