Subdomains vs. folders for external app access
Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2013 12:09 pm
So I just read through https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Hosting_a_website and the whole thing seems kind of silly to me.
I can already access username.yourhda.com externally. I don't want to set up another dyndns, buy more domains, mess with CNAMEs etc.
Either: the Amahi dyndns should handle appname.username.yourhda.com in a relatively painless manner (I mean, it's no skin off your nose, right?) or else apps should install in subfolders instead of subdomains so one can just access it at username.yourhda.com/appname or similar. And if this is already possible, it should be added to the documentation, and probably as the first option since it ought to be the most straightforward.
I mean, the whole reason I'm using Amahi is because it's supposed to be pushbutton, and for many things it is. Why add unnecessary complexity to the process of externally accessing your apps?
