Setting a sub directory of my custom domain to Netlify blog

Hi,

I recently bought a custom domain (TLD is .com, registrar is Cloudflare) and I want to use the main domain to access a React app. When someone visits the sub-directory /blog, I want them to see my blog that’s served from Netlify. If I add a redirect in Cloudflare’s DNS records, it sends users to my Netlify site, but shows the URL as myusername.netlify.app. I want it to appear as mydomain.com/blog and all the blog posts to follow that mapping.

The blog served from Netlify is hosted on Github and is built using Hugo.

Is this even possible? How can I achieve this? Do I have to move the DNS records from Cloudflare to Netlify?

Thanks and stay safe!

I think that the quickest and nastiest possible solution would be another redirect rule such as:

yourusername.netlify.app/* yourdomain.com/:splat 301!

Thanks for the suggestion. After studying about different options, we decided going for a separate .blog TLD instead of a sub directory is the best case for us. Thanks!

No problem – a solution is always a solution :smiley:
