As we may know that Google announced App Engine will no longer support naked domains.
However, there are many people still trying to bind naked domain to the website. So am I. I migrated my website to App Engine from dedicated server a few months ago. But I really do not like the form of sub domain: www.billychow.me/
Since of that, I was seeking for the solution for several days. Finally, I found another way to achieve this feature by Reverse Proxy. So I want to share this with anyone else who has not known yet.
OK, Let’s go.
First, you need install nginx and do the following configuration:
server {
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://yourappid.appspot.com;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}Then, change the DNS A record of your naked domain to point your proxy server and wait for its effects.
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to your domain to test.
note: You can use any other web server software which support reverse proxy as proxy server if you want. The only difference is the formation of configuration file.
