SEO: how to ensure admin ui is not indexed in google?

Our admin ui is on a subdomain but I want to make sure a random people won't find it in google

Hey, @pnodet! The simple way is to use extendExpressApp and use express.static middleware

First, create public folder in your project, and add a robots.txt file in there. You should have public/robots.txt with below content:

public/robots.txt

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Then add express.static middleware to server everything from that folder.

keystone.ts

// ...
import express from 'express';

export default withAuth(
  config({
    // ...
    server: {
      extendExpressApp(app) {
        app.use(express.static('public'))
        // ^ this line serves everything from `public` folder
      },
    }
  })
);

The other way is to configure local storage, but it's much tricky
