Ringgold Isles

The Ringgold Isles are an archipelago in Fiji, forming an outlier group to Vanua Levu. The Budd, Nukusemanu, and Heemskercq Reefs form part of the group. The group is mostly uninhabited, but Qelelevu has a small village. In 2008 Pacific Rats were eradicated from seven islands of the group in an endeavour facilitated by BirdLife International's Fiji Programme.[1]

A 218 hectares (540 acres) area covering the archipelago is the Ringgold Islands Important Bird Area. This area supports globally and regionally significant populations of marine turtles, humpback whales, seabirds and semi-nomadic reef fish, and may hold concentrations of cold-water corals.[2]

gollark: They aren't that hard. You just use `server_name` in the `server` block.
gollark: Not specifically wordpress, no.
gollark: I would probably use nginx, because I'm used to it and it has nicer configuration:```nginxhttp { # whatever important configuration you have for all HTTP servers, `nginx.conf` probably ships with some # fallback in case someone visits with an unrecognized Host header server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; return 301 http://somedomain$request_uri; } server { listen 80; # you may (probably do) want HTTPS instead, in which case this bit is somewhat different - you need to deal with certs and stuff, and use port 443 - also you should probably add HTTP/2 listen [::]:80; # IPv6 server_name domain1.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend1:8080/; } } server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name domain2.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend2:8080/; } }}```
gollark: The reverse-proxy solution is in my opinion the best one, although it would require some config.
gollark: I think LetsEncrypt may not be very happy with that, though.
