How to make a redirect link or something that does the same thing.

[vascobrissos14]

I just used owncloud to make a cloud server using my raspberry pi 3 and it works just fine.

I've opened ports and it's now open worldwide but there is a problem. If I want to acess it, I need to use a weird link. My IP and the ?directory?. Just like this. "MYIP/owncloud/"

As you probably know, this is harder to remember and if I want to share it with my friends, it's harder for them to use the cloud as easily and using dropbox where you just put "dropbox.com" and you acess it.

I've looked up on how to "mask" that link but it doesn't work, only if I use an IP. So it doesn't work with ?directories? "/owncloud/".

Does anyone know how I can "fix" this?

Thanks

No, it needs the whole thing.
IPAddress/Owncloud.

Otherwise, the router does not know where to send traffic coming to just /IPAddress/

Like mail to your house.
You can't just put "Boston"
It has to have a street address as well.

Yea, I alredy realized that. My question is if you can mask the whole thing. Like if I use "cloudserver.com", it goes to the adress needed "MYIP/owncloud/".

Is that possible?

Thanks
