When using the StaticSite construct, how can I set a domain alias for an externally hosted domain?
Copy code
$ /home/runner/work/sourcier-web/sourcier-web/node_modules/.bin/sst deploy --stage main

Error: Domain alias is only supported for domains hosted on Amazon Route 53. Do not set the "customDomain.domainAlias" when "isExternalDomain" is enabled.

If I remember correctly you have a field in
customDomain
called
isExternalDomain
. Tho I have a vague memory that you need to set up a certificate manually first

Thanks @Lukasz K!
@Roger Rajaratnam it’s pretty tricky to do with external domain. Is moving the DNS to Route 53 an option for you?
If not, you can move specific subdomains over i think.

I got it to work fine without the domain alias, I thought that was required to redirect www -> non www.
I did the redirect on via gandi.net where my domain is registered.
