Hosting at /docs Subpath
Serve your Jamdesk documentation at a subpath like yoursite.com/docs
Host your documentation at a /docs subpath on your primary domain. This keeps your docs integrated with your main website while maintaining a consistent brand experience.
Why Use a Subpath?
Hosting docs at yoursite.com/docs instead of a subdomain like docs.yoursite.com provides:
- Better SEO - Documentation pages contribute to your main domain's authority
- Unified experience - Users stay on your primary domain
- Simpler navigation - No context switching between domains
How It Works
Your web server or CDN proxies requests from /docs/* to your Jamdesk site while preserving the original URL in the browser:
User visits: yoursite.com/docs/getting-started
↓
Your proxy: Forwards to [slug].jamdesk.app/docs/getting-started
↓
Response: Served with yoursite.com/docs URLs
Setup by Provider
Choose your hosting provider to get started:
Prerequisites
Before configuring your proxy:
- Enable subpath hosting in your Jamdesk dashboard under Settings → Custom Domain
- Toggle "Host at /docs" to on
- Add your domain (e.g.,
yoursite.com)
Your Jamdesk subdomain (e.g., acme.jamdesk.app) will be displayed in the dashboard - you'll need this for your proxy configuration.
What's Next?
Once you've configured your proxy, test by visiting https://yoursite.com/docs. Your documentation should load with all assets and links working correctly.
