Hey,
we have been struggling around for quite a long time to find the correct settings.
In the end it was easier then expected.
Feedback from the official support was limited helpful, that’s why I want so sum up the steps I did.
Webserver: Nginx
Primary-Domain: www.yoursite.com
Webflow-Subdomain: cms.yoursite.com
Webflow-CMS should be available under: www.yoursite.com/content
1.) Activate at least the “Basic Hosting Plan” in your webflow project
2.) Add a Custom Domain (eg. cms.yoursite.com)
3.) Enable SSL for Custom Domain
4.) Add CNAME-DNS Record: cms.yoursite.com → proxy-ssl.webflow.com
5.) Add A-Type DNS Record: cms.yoursite.com → 34.193.69.252
Glossary Term: DNS records | Webflow Help
6.) Set up Reverse Proxy in Nginx:
location /content {
proxy_ssl_server_name on;
proxy_pass https://cms.yoursite.com/;
}
It is important to set the slashs exactly like in the example.
Otherwise I got a 502 Bad-Gateway or 404 Error.
