Summary
Can’t setup Mattermost on Subdomain folder WITHOUT subdirectory.
I dont want an “ugly” subdirectory url called mattermost, I want the service to run directly from my root directory. Since I’m a noob im probably missing something but there is no more information talking about hosting it on a platform like plesk.
Yes, I know that there is an extension. And yes, I am using it. But the Version is outdated and doesnt include boards, so I manually updated it. Fully functional, but I really want it not to run from the mattermost subdirectory.
e.g.: matter.samplesite.com not matter.samplesite.com/mattermost/
Steps to reproduce
Casually install and manually configure on Ubuntu 20.04 with latest stable Mattermost
Change SiteURL to wanted subdomain
Expected behavior
Site should normally work but it doesnt
Observed behavior
Entered subdomain without the mattermost directory → error 404 page not found
Entered subdomain with the mattermost directory → blank page
Im tired since ive been trying to make it work for days now.
Plesk nginx.conf looks like this: MOST OF IT HAS BEEN AUTO-GENERATED BY PLESK
