VHOST ServerAlias for site availability on both www and not-www domain

[rmpel]

I’d like to see a mechanic that adds a www.domain.local to a Local site at domain.local

I tried creating an add-on for this, but the documentation on creating add-ons is hard to find (mostly because Local is a very common term for way more software than Local by Flywheel) and the documentation I could find has empty docs for hooks and stuff.

What needs be done is;

add alias www.domain.tld when user omits www., or add alias domain.tld when user does enter www.
this alias must go in the vhost config file;

(apache)
ServerName domain.tld
ServerAlias www.domain.tld

(nginx)
server_name domain.tld www.domain.tld;

and to the host file;
192.168.75.100 domain.tld www.domain.tld #Local Site

With pointers on how to manipulate these values from an add-on, I’d be happy, with native support in Local, I’d be way more happier

Thank you, and thanks to the community in advance for votes

Hi Remon,

Thank you for the feedback!

We’ve actually already done this and it will be coming out in the next major update.

As far as the add-on API goes, we’ll be revisiting this soon. We’ll focus on improving the documentation and providing more add-on examples.

I would call that

“AWESOME!, by FlyWheel”
