set.rbind.io request

[kyle-messier]

Netlify website address

setgrp.netlify.app

Preferred rbind.io subdomain

set.rbind.io

If not available, setgrp.rbind.io

Agreement

• By submitting this request, I promise I will at least write one blog post or create one web page on my website after I get the rbind.io subdomain.

Purpose

This will be the group and personal website for the Spatiotemporal Exposures and Toxicology group a.k.a. SET group. A research group at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. I will be maintain and utilize the website. Thank you for supporting R, open-source, and this cool domain

[kyle-messier]

are subdomains available within our own [sub]domain with rbind.io? For example, if we do set.rbind.io, can we also do code.set.rbind.io?

@Spatiotemporal-Exposures-and-Toxicology We have configured the rbind subdomain you requested. Please:

1. Add the rbind subdomain in your Netlify account as the custom domain to your site, as is shown below. Simply use your subdomain.rbind.io as the record, no www needed.

2. There might be messages saying "DNS verification failed" or "check DNS configuration" on Netlify after adding the rbind subdomain -- they can be safely ignored as long as the site renders properly.

3. You may also find the last two sections of this post helpful for redirecting HTTP traffic to HTTPS automatically.

---

Regarding "sub sub domains", sure, we can add them, please send the request. They will just be regular subdomains with dots (.) in them. See #149.

Thanks!

Thank you @nanxstats,

I am getting the following error from netlify:

Once we get that resolved, I'll submit a request for code.set.rbind.io. Shall I continue this issue or submit a new one?

I also have a few clarifying questions regarding your point 3. above. Apologies in advance, I'm relatively new to the web hosting process.

I currently have pkgdown site being deployed to the packages github pages site using the standard CI yaml . I'd like to use code.set sites for my pkgdowns, but it looks like github pages don't do redirects - is that correct? Do you know if I need to change the pkgdown.yaml to simply use "build_site()" instead of "build_site_github_pages"?

@Spatiotemporal-Exposures-and-Toxicology

Please ignore the message and proceed with adding the subdomain.

Feel free to open a separate issue for another request.

We can point rbind.io subdomain to GitHub Pages. You only need to put a CNAME file in your repo, like in #139.

There is no need to change the pkgdown GitHub Actions workflow - if you still use GitHub Pages to host the site.

@nanxstats

I put a CNAME file for set.rbind.io in ./docs. I am getting a site note found or unsecure warning for set.rbind.io

[kyle-messier]

@nanxstats ok, I can now see on Github:

So, perhaps I just need to be patient while the check happens?

[kyle-messier]

@nanxstats See the error I am getting from github pages on setting the custom domain. Can you please advise? I am not using blogdown for the netlify site, but just the basic Quarto website publishing. Thanks

@Spatiotemporal-Exposures-and-Toxicology set.rbind.io already points to setgrp.netlify.app, it cannot point to another site hosted on GitHub Pages. If you prefer to change the record to point it to a github.io site, please send a request. Then you can use the CNAME file in GitHub repo to make GitHub Pages recognize the custom domain.
