google cloud platform - www DNS record with GCP static website using CloudFare

Question

I am hosting a small static website on a Google Cloud bucket. My website is pierre-alexandre.io and my bucket has the same name. I am using CloudFare as a DNS and the website is currently accessible with those urls:

• https://pierre-alexandre.io
• pierre-alexandre.io which redirects to https://pierre-alexandre.io

I added a new CName record to handle the www.pierre-alexandre.io url but it's telling me I should have bucket called www.pierre-alexandre.io instead of pierre-alexandre.io

<Error>
<Code>NoSuchBucket</Code>
<Message>The specified bucket does not exist.</Message>
</Error>

Do you know what would be the proper way to fix it?

Answer 1

There is no way to access a bucket using multiple CNAME record.

Your url must be same with GCP bucket name whether it is root or sub.

I think forwarding the url pierre-alexandre.io to www.pierre-alexandre.io is only option that works.

Refer here to how to use url forwarding on Cloud flare.

Or you can workaround to having secondary GCP bucket named your subdomain like www.pierre-alexandre.io
