    Many thanks

    @jac ummm - can you provide a bit more info in terms of what you’re looking for ? It’s not entirely clear from your post.

    @phenomlab apologies,

    So you go to domain.com and then you have a site at domains.com but they both load up the same information and update whenever the other is updated?

    @jac something like that is only possible with clustering or what is known as round robin DNS - and even then, that would be two servers but under the same domain name. The idea here is that both contain the same information and whoever answers first gets the traffic.

    However, sharing information across two domains is possible, but would involve replication of information in almost real time to ensure both carried consistent data. I can’t think of any feasible reason as to why you’d want to do this though ?

    Thanks for all the great information Mark.

    I want to use a different domain name with the name ‘forum’ in so I thought this would be the best way to achieve this.

    @jac the simplest way to get this to work is create a subdomain, then move the NodeBB forum into that. Then, setup 301 redirects to send traffic to the new URL when someone clicks an old link from Google (for example) or an email.

    Thanks mate, does that enable me to use both?

    @jac So do you want one site to be a replica of another ?

  • @jac So do you want one site to be a replica of another ?

    @phenomlab yes mate, so you go to domain.com and either get redirected which is probably pointless unless the domain has been active and popular? but for SEO to pick up both sites, maybe not possible.

    This is a bad idea. The same content will land up being listed twice, which Google will penalise you for. It also looks like plagiarism which you obviously don’t want. If you just want one domain to redirect to the other, then this is simple.

    True, although the domain that’s redirecting to the other is that pointless? As it won’t show in Google for example and they’ll certainly be no one looking for it?

    @jac Not necessarily, no. The domain redirect is purely so that older links that point to the previous domain don’t just spit out a 404 error message when someone tries to access them.

    However, if the domain is seldom used, then why would you need the redirect in the first place (a point which you mentioned below). I’m still struggling to understand why you’d need two sites with the same information if the other domain is rarely used

    A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe> This works first time every time on your site as intended.

    @Hari the real issue here is that I don’t think it can be used as a theme for WordPress because of the dependencies it clearly has, including its own Web server. My view here is that this is designed to be a complete development environment outside of the WordPress core.

    @veronikya said in mongodb replica set: The host’s local dns resolution is not configured. The problem of the host’s hosts being unable to be resolved in docker has been solved. Surprisingly Solution: Edit the /etc/resovel.conf file Add 127.0.0.53 One immediate issue I can think of here is that editing resolv.conf directly is no longer supported and not recommended (because the changes do not survive a reboot) - unless you install the resolvconf package?
