Thanks for responding!
The install guide is well written, thanks for sharing. I got the SSL certificate and am able to access the main ditto page at the URL I set in the nginx config server block (https://notes.<my domain>.org) but am getting the error “websocket connection to wss://<mydomain>.org/relay failed” in the browser console and a blank ditto timeline when I visit it.
It seems to be trying to connect to wss://<mydomain>/relay, when I want it to connect to wss://notes.<mydomain>.org. The main domain https://<mydomain>.org leads to a separate Wordpress blog on bluehost, so I imagine that’s why it’s not able to connect to wss://<mydomain>.org/relay. I created the notes.<mydomain>.org subdomain to use just for this.
I think my question is how can I update the url that ditto uses for the wss connection to match the one I set in the nginx config ? (I want it to use wss://notes.<mydomain>.org NOT wss://<mydomain>.org/relay)
You could DM me a response or comment back on here. Let me know if I wasn’t clear. I’m using a vps on digital ocean.
I need help from experts

Update:
I messed with the .env and updated the local domain. now the web socket connects to wss://notes.<mydomain>.org/relay, which should work ok for what I need right now without messing with the Wordpress install I have at http://<mydomain>.org. I connected to the relay with my client and successfully posted to the relay.
I guess my question now is whether there is any way to take off the “/relay” at the end of the wss url.
there is no way to take off the "/relay"
got it, thank you for being responsive!!
Well you could set up an nginx forwarding rule to forward relay.notes.yoursite.org to notes.yoursite.org/relay
ahhh thanks my friend! i have never done that before but now that you tipped me ima research how to do that. if you have any resources that explain how to do it please share.
