Upgrade Fediverse Handle?

[Chapien]

Hello,

I'm trying to update my fediverse handle to simply be my domain as directed in the docs here. However, my website is a Hugo site and I have no idea how to set up the well-known file to properly redirect. It's hosted here on github pages, as well.

If it helps, here is the repo: https://github.com/Chapien/chapien.github.io
And the website itself is: https://chapien.net/

Hey @Chapien! I don't know much about Hugo or GitHub Pages either, but maybe Google can help? https://www.google.com/search?q=hugo%20github%20pages%20redirect

Alright @snarfed , I think I have it working? Or it should be. I used this plugin https://github.com/gcc42/hugo-redirect to set up redirects. If you enter the URLs, it correctly redirects to bridgy. ie https://chapien.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:chapien.net@chapien.net -> https://fed.brid.gy/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:chapien.net@chapien.net

However, when I try to add my website to bridgy, it now believes I am serving my own webfinger (despite it being a redirect to your's).

@Chapien your site is still serving an HTTP 200 for https://chapien.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:chapien.net@chapien.net , not a 301 or 302 redirect.

Sorry this isn't easier! It doesn't necessarily need custom code, but it does take some knowledge for how to configure your site, which may sometimes be technical depending on the web server.

@snarfed It doesn't help that I can't find docs for this for github pages. I honestly might switch providers over this, lol

Got it working! Ended up using cloudflare page rules to forward to the appropriate destination with 301. I thought github pages was incompatible with proxied cloudflare but apparently that's outdated info.
