Assign a Custom Domain
In Microtica you can assign a custom domain on both Applications and Resources.
Applications are deployed on Kubernetes cluster, while Resources represent AWS services such as Fargate, CloudFront etc. and are deployed directly on your cloud account.
By default the applications deployed on your Kubernetes cluster are not exposed on the Internet. To be able to access the application from the Internet you need to assign a custom domain.
To assign a domain for an app, select the appropriate app and click on Assign domain button.
You have two options to choose from:
- Assign microtica domain (microtica.rocks) for free
- Add your own custom domain (Started plan for $29/month)
Choose you preferred option. Microtica will start setting up the necessary Ingress and SSL Certificate configuration on your Kubernetes cluster. This could take up to 3 mins.
Once the setup is completed, you should update your DNS records with the information provided in the next step.
In our example we are using GoDaddy as domain provider but the process should be similar for other providers.
Once you add the CNAME record in your domain provider click on Next button. Wait until the DNS propagation is completed. This could take a few minutes.
In the next step Restart your application for the changes to take effect.
Your application should be accessible on your custom domain. 🎉
To assign a custom domain for resource, select the appropriate resource from environment and click on Assign a custom domain button in the Resource Outputs section.
Enter your custom domain name and click on Next button.
It could take a few moments to generate a new SSL certificate.
Once the SSL certificate is ready you will get a pair of CNAME records that need to be added in your DNS provider.
In our example we are using GoDaddy as domain provider but the process should be similar for other providers.
Once you add the CNAME records in your domain provider click on Next button. Wait until the DNS propagation is completed. This could take a few minutes.
In the next step Deploy your resource for the changes to take effect.
Your resource should be accessible on your custom domain after the deployment is completed. 🎉
