3. Restore Your Application Content​

  • Access your Flask application via the temporary domain provided by Kuberns.
  • Restore your application data, such as database records and static files, from the DigitalOcean backup.
  • Update Flask settings or configuration files to match the temporary domain.

4. Configure Domain Settings​

  • In the Kuberns Dashboard, go to environment settings.
  • Add your custom domain under the Domain section.
  • Update your DNS records as instructed by Kuberns.
  • Redeploy your project to apply the new domain settings.

5. Verify Migration​
