How To Deploy a Static Site from GitHub with DigitalOcean App Platform [Quickstart]Hello,
I have a Google Domain and it is already being redirected to Digital Ocean servers (ns1, ns2 and ns3). My static portfolio was running in apache in a CentOS droplet, let’s use the domain https://mywebsite.com.
I followed then this tutorial (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-static-site-from-github-with-digitalocean-app-platform-quickstart) and my website was successfully deployed, but now I want to redirect www.mywebsite.com to the link generated by the app platform.
Example: User accesses https://www.mywebsite.com and remains in this url but the content from portfolio-12345.ondigitalocean.app. is loaded.
For this I followed another tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/app-platform/how-to/manage-domains/
As far as I could understand I had to configure it in Google Domains, however as said initially the Google Domains is pointing to Digital Ocean servers, and I created the following record:
| Type | Hostname | Value | TTL (seconds) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | www.mywebsite.com | is an alias of portfolio-12345.ondigitalocean.app | 43200 |
I waited some time but my website at www.mywebsite.com is still “Connection refused”.
Did I understand something wrong in the DNS configuration process?
Thanks in advance!
