It seems a bit silly to set up a static file tree just for one well-known entry. You can also do something like this straight from the nginx config:
location /.well-known/matrix { default_type application/json; return 200 "{ \"m.server\": \"matrix.dangerousdemos.net:443\" }"; }
The path should be /.well-known/matrix/server, just in case anybody tries to use this.
/.well-known/matrix/server
Ah, right. My bad!
Huh, I didn’t know nginx could be configured to directly return text. Maybe the Matrix person who made the video didn’t know that either.
cute :) i didn’t know!
Could be. I just realised it’s also possible they didn’t want to complicate the instructions because the default config they tell you to copy already includes support for hosting files.
