Alternate DNS setup

Info

Skip this step if you already use the included Cloudflare setup

Before you can access the home page at https://home.example.com, you'll need to update your DNS config.

Some options for DNS config (choose one):

  • Change the DNS config at your domain registrar (already included and automated)
  • Change the DNS config in your router (also works if you don't own a domain)
  • Use nip.io (suitable for a test environment)

The default configuration is for Cloudflare DNS, but you can change the code to use other providers.

In your router

Tip

If you don't have a domain, you can use the home.arpa domain (according to RFC-8375).

You can add each subdomain one by one, or use a wildcard *.example.com and point it to the IP address of the load balancer. To acquire a list of subdomains and their addresses, use this command:

./scripts/get-dns-config

Use nip.io

Preconfigured in the dev branch.
