The blog has a new, shorter URL!

https://blog.six-five-six-four.com

This is thanks to a new server block in Nginx featuring a rewrite rule that gets rid of all the extra stuff:

rewrite ^/(.*)$ /frontend/servers/aliens_wildland/files/blog/$1 break;

And SWAG makes it easy to add subdomains in docker-compose.yml:

  environment:
   - SUBDOMAINS=blog,ptth,www,
   - ...

So all I had to do was:

• Add the subdomain in DigitalOcean and point it to my droplet
• Tell docker-compose to rebuild SWAG
• Follow the logs with docker logs -f --since 1m swag to make sure it got the new certs
• Configure the new site under site-confs/blog for Nginx
• Run my reload-nginx.bash script: docker exec swag nginx -c /config/nginx/nginx.conf -s reload
