## DNS and subdomains for the applications
|
|
|
|
### Subdomains
|
|
|
|
YunoHost allows the use of subdomains. If one owns a domain name `mydomain.com`, one first needs to create the subdomains in the DNS configuration (with one's registrar like Gandi).
|
|
|
|
### Configuration example with Gandi
|
|
|
|
The DNS configuration needs an A record with an IPv4 address, an AAAA record with an IPv6 address, and various CNAME records, one for each desired subdomain.
|
|
|
|
If your DNS configuration looks like:
|
|
```bash
|
|
@ A XYZ.XYZ.XYZ.XYZ
|
|
@ AAAA 1234:1234:1234:FFAA:FFAA:FFAA:FFAA:AAFF
|
|
* CNAME mydomain.com.
|
|
agenda CNAME mydomain.com.
|
|
blog CNAME mydomain.com.
|
|
rss CNAME mydomain.com.
|
|
```
|
|
then you can access `agenda.mydomain.com`, `blog.mydomain.com` and `rss.mydomain.com` subdomains.
|
|
|
|
### Install an application on a subdomain
|
|
|
|
To install an application on a subdomain in YunoHost, for example `blog.mydomain.com`, the configuration is done in the administration panel. One first add the subdomain to the available domains list. The creation of a subdomain in YunoHost will create the corresponding configuration files for NGINX (the web server used in YunoHost).
|
|
|
|
Then, in the applications>install panel, one follows the classic installation process by choosing the desired subdomain as domain (for example `blog.mydomain.com`). One needs to choose the path `/` (in place of `/wordpress` for example). A warning message will appear telling that it won't be possible to install other application to this subdomain. After validation, the installation starts.
|
|
|
|
The application is then available at `blog.mydomain.com` (and not `mydomain.com/wordpress`).
|
|
|
|
### Moving an application to a subdomain
|
|
|
|
What happens if the application is already installed? For example, one wants to move `mydomain.com/wordpress` to `blog.mydomain.com`.
|
|
It depends on the application.
|
|
Some applications allow the change of domain. In that case, one can proceed to the change through the administration panel Applications>the_app>change URL.
|
|
If the application doesn't allow URL change, then there is no easy way to do it. The best solution is to reinstall the application.
|
|
|
|
### Reinstalling an application
|
|
|
|
First, save the application data through the backup process. Then uninstall the application with the administration panel. Then reinstall the application to the desired domain. Finally, restore the backup.
