I’m trying to follow this article on cloudflare regarding how to fetch Amazon S3 assets through a subdomain.
It works as expected when I manually define a specific subdomain with DNS like the following:
CNAME ----- assets ------ fullpage.sites.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com — orange cloud icon
Then I can access my amazon files when using:
https://assets.example.com
However, I want to use a wild card so each subdomain can be redirected to a folder inside my Amazon S3 bucket. I don’t want to manually define those subdomains as that’s something my web users will generate in their web app.
So, I add the following record with the wildcard NAME.
CNAME ----- * ------ fullpage.sites.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com — grey cloud icon
Notice I wasn’t allowed to use the “orange cloud icon” (Proxied) and I had to use the grey one (DNS only)
Now this URL stopped working as expected:
https://assets.example.com
And I get an aws error:
404 Not Found
- Code: NoSuchBucket
- Message: The specified bucket does not exist
What’s going on?
How can I solve this?
