How to access coder cloud through custom domain

[joshleblanc]

Set up the coder cloud link (code-server --link), and I wanted to set up a custom domain to point to it.

I set up a CNAME record that points to the coder cloud URL, but it doesn't appear to resolve. Is this intentionally blocked, or is there another way to do it?

The host header is used to determine where to proxy the request but with a CNAME I believe the browser sends the CNAME host and not the host it points to so the proxy has no idea where to route the request. A reverse proxy would probably work as long as it set the right host header.

I realized the SSL cert still wouldn't be for the custom domain anyway, so it was kind of a lost cause to begin with.

I opted for just a redirect, which works fine.
