Custom Domoain​

Once your application is deployed on Kuberns, you can enhance its accessibility and branding by adding a custom domain.

This allows your users to access your application using a domain of your choice instead of the default Kuberns-provided URL.

This document outlines the simple process of adding a custom domain via the Kuberns Dashboard and configuring your DNS settings to make it live.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, ensure:

  • You own a custom domain and have access to its DNS management settings through your domain registrar or DNS provider.

Step-by-Step guide to adding a custom domain​

Follow these steps to add and configure a custom domain for your deployed application.

Step 1: Navigate to the Environments Section​

  1. Log in to your Kuberns Dashboard.
  2. Select the project containing the deployed application you want to configure.
  3. In the dashboard, locate the Environments section for your service.
    • This section allows you to manage environment-specific settings, including custom domains.

Step 2: Add Your Custom Domain​

  1. In the Environments section, click the Add Custom Domain button.
    • A form will appear prompting you to enter your domain details.
  2. Enter your custom domain name in the provided field.
  3. Click Save to register the domain with Kuberns.
    • Kuberns will generate a target address (CNAME value) that you’ll use in the next step.

Step 3: Configure Your DNS Settings​

  1. Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider’s management console.
  2. Navigate to the DNS settings or records section for your domain.
  3. Create a new CNAME record:
    • Name/Host/Alias: Enter the subdomain you’re configuring.
    • Value/Target: Paste the CNAME target provided by Kuberns in Step 2 (e.g., your-service.kuberns.app).
    • TTL (Time to Live): Set to a low value (e.g., 300 seconds) for faster propagation, if your provider allows.
  4. Save the DNS record.
    • Note: DNS propagation may take a few minutes to 48 hours, depending on your provider and TTL settings.

Step 4: Verify the Custom Domain​

  1. Return to the Kuberns Dashboard and navigate back to the Environments section.

  2. Check the status of your custom domain.

    • Once DNS propagation is complete click on Verify, Kuberns will verify the CNAME record and mark the domain as active.

Update your custom domain

  1. Test your application by accessing it via the custom domain.
    • If the domain is not working, ensure the CNAME record is correctly configured and wait for full propagation.
