It is the same as this guide above, but it changes from at step 4:
4. add a CNAME file in the src/ folder of your angular project.
this CNAME file must contain your webAdress, for example: oldmartijntje.nl
5. go to angular.json, somewhere in there there is the following:
json "assets": [ "src/favicon.ico", "src/assets" ],
Add "src/CNAME":
json "assets": [ "src/favicon.ico", "src/assets", "src/CNAME" ],
