# apps.silentmode.st — SEO-friendly read-only mirror of prometheus.x.
#
# Prometheus's real home is the BCNR name `prometheus.x`, served from this
# VPS via the name's `ip`+`tls` records. Search engines can't resolve `.x`,
# so this subdomain exists specifically to be crawled: it reverse-proxies to
# the same service and the response's `rel=canonical` already names
# `prometheus.x` as the authoritative URL — Googlebot indexes the content
# but attributes it to the real address.
#
# This is the same practice theseus.x and ariadne.x use via their
# conventional-DNS mirrors; see [[silentmode-site-url-scheme]] for the
# family's URL convention.
#
# POST endpoints (publish, admin, login) are proxied too — operator admin
# over https works via this hostname as a backup. For the typical sign-in
# flow we still prefer prometheus.x directly from Theseus.
