Server Domain

Important: Without a custom server domain, all communication between the TUI and server happens over HTTP. This means your password and data are sent in plaintext. Set up a domain immediately after installation.

Setup

1. Point your domain to your server

   Add an A record in your DNS provider:

   Type: A
   Name: @ (or subdomain like "deploy")
   Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP
   

2. Set the domain in deeploy

   Open the command palette (Alt+P) → “Set Server Domain” → Enter your domain

3. Done

   Let’s Encrypt automatically provisions an SSL certificate. Your TUI will now connect via HTTPS.

Note: Ports 80 and 443 must be open on your server for SSL to work.

Pod Domains

Each pod needs at least one domain to be accessible.

Auto-Generated Domains

The quickest way to get started. Deeploy generates a subdomain using sslip.io:

pod-abc123.1.2.3.4.sslip.io

Works instantly, no DNS configuration needed.

Custom Domains

For production apps, use your own domain:

1. Add DNS record

   Type: A
   Name: myapp (for myapp.example.com)
   Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP
   

2. Add domain to pod

   Pod → Domains → New → Enter myapp.example.com

3. Deploy

   SSL certificate is automatically provisioned.

Multiple Domains

A single pod can have multiple domains. Useful for:

• www.example.com and example.com
• Different subdomains pointing to the same app
