[Freedombox-discuss] trouble configuring letsencrypt, apache, subdomains...

[David Mintz]

@Sunil thank you for this clear and thorough explanation. I think I've now got a better handle on the issues and will be able to fix.

And thank you for Freedombox.

Thought experiment:  Suppose you just disable the RedirectMatch "^/$ ..."  and use one and the same domain for serving both your personal site and plinth/freedombox apps? (sounds like the implication below is that you can do that). I am trying to imagine any reason one would regret the decision, other than  having to navigate explicitly to /plinth when you need it. 

I will have to get back home to play with it, I'm not even sure if I'm on 19.2 or something else. I think by default we get automatic upgrades, right? I hesitate to fool with configuration through the web interface alone and no shell access.

Anyway, thanks again.
