02/21/2023, 6:06 PMCan I run my website and the API on different domains?
In my case, the website hosted on a web hosting and the API hosted on a VPS.
I'm struggling with communication between them. On localhost it works.

02/21/2023, 6:10 PMDo I understand it correctly, that if the apiDomain value is set to localhost:3001, it means that the API is hosted on port 3001?

02/21/2023, 6:11 PMHmm, okay, one more question before I do it.

02/21/2023, 6:12 PMI'm hosting the Supertokens Core on the same VPS (as the backend API). Is that OK?

02/21/2023, 6:12 PM(obviously, I want to run them on different ports)
codex6424
02/21/2023, 6:13 PMThanks

02/21/2023, 6:20 PMI've read it, but it's still not that clear.
Let's say, that my website is https://example.com and the signup button moves user to https://example.com/auth.
My website is hosted on a hosting and the backend API on my VPS.
So I assume that:
websiteDomain: "https://example.com"
apiDomain: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3001
(the address before the colon is my VPS's IP address)
Is this correct?

02/21/2023, 6:21 PMalright, so I think that I'm having problems with Vite
codex6424
02/21/2023, 6:21 PMdo you have any tutorial on how to serve it on a cPanel based web hosting?
r
rp_st
02/21/2023, 6:22 PMI think there is a YouTube video about it. Search for supertokens cPanel
rp_st
02/21/2023, 6:22 PMBut I’m not sure. It’s not something I can help much with. Sorry
