                 How to use your own domain on Blueksy!

Body

   In your Settings tab, scroll down to "Advanced" and click on "Change
   Handle" and then "I have my own domain." You’ll be presented with two
   tabs that show you how to change your username to your domain via a
   DNS panel (where your domain is hosted) or without one. I chose the
   latter for speed.

   You have to upload a file at YOUR_SITE/.well-known/atproto-did
   containing some random string Bluesky gives you. Easy-peasy.

   I’m currently using nginx for my homepage so I had to add this to my
   nginx config:

   

   server {
     location /.well-known/ {
       # Enable directory listing
       autoindex on;

       # Allow all methods
       allow all;

       # Set proper MIME type for atproto-did
       location /.well-known/atproto-did {
         default_type application/json;
         add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
         add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS";
         add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "DNT, X-CustomHeader, Keep-Alive, User-Agent, X-Requested-With, If-Modified-Since, Cache-Control, Content-Type";
       }
     }
   }



   Run nginx -t to ensure no issues occurred from this change and then
   service nginx reload. You should be good to go!
