All you need to do is:
- copy `/.well-known/matrix/server` and `/.well-known/matrix/client` from the Matrix server (e.g. `matrix.example.com`) to your base domain's server (`example.com`).
- copy `/.well-known/matrix/server` and `/.well-known/matrix/client` from the Matrix server (e.g. `matrix.example.com`) to your base domain's server (`example.com`). You can find these files in the `/matrix/static-files/.well-known/matrix` directory on the Matrix server. They are also accessible on URLs like this: `https://matrix.example.com/.well-known/matrix/server` (same for `client`).
- set up the server at your base domain (e.g. `example.com`) so that it adds an extra HTTP header when serving the `/.well-known/matrix/client` file. [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS), the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header should be set with a value of `*`. If you don't do this step, web-based Matrix clients (like Riot) may fail to work. Setting up headers for the `/.well-known/matrix/server` file is not necessary, as this file is only consumed by non-browsers, which don't care about CORS.
