Separate domain locked to specific subdirectory

[DonovanDMC]

I'm coming from gitbook (they've finally sloppified their product enough for me to put effort into finding a good selfhosted alternative), one of the final things from gitbook that pushed me over the edge was removing the ability to have custom domains. I'd like to be able to do something like this without needing to host several completely distinct instances or needing a bunch of reverse proxy shenanigans.

For example, say I have wiki.example that contains various projects
I have a project, project.example, this project has a set of wiki pages on the wiki, I'd like to be able to serve those pages specifically at docs.project.example as if they were in the root, and ideally without showing everything else that exists in the root

https://wiki.example/Project -> https://docs.project.example
https://wiki.example/Project/File -> https://docs.project.example/File
etc

From what I can tell this is not even remotely possible currently, do you have any suggestions/is there a chance this could become a built in feature?

I'm open to hosting multiple instances with different roots but otherwise the same shared configuration if something like that could work, but that seems sketchy to me with the possibility of multiple instances reading/writing to the database at once, as well as git shenanigans

Hey @DonovanDMC, thanks for sharing your detailed use case.

I understand you need custom domains and project-specific root access. Unfortunately, An Otter Wiki's current architecture doesn't support this level of granularity. Implementing it would require a major overhaul and isn't planned for the near future.

I figured as much but I figured I'd put it out there anyways, the software is good regardless and I can just make redirects to the subdirectories instead. Hope to see this software continue chugging along, lightweight wiki software is a must have!
