Add your own domain name to your Nixopus projects for a professional, branded experience.

​
Adding a Domain

1

Open your project

Navigate to the project where you want to add a domain
2

Go to Configuration

Click on the Configuration tab
3

Enter your domain in the Domain field (e.g., app.example.com)
4

Click Update Deployment to save
5

Configure DNS

Update your DNS records to point to Nixopus

​
DNS Configuration

After adding your domain in Nixopus, you need to configure your DNS provider to point to our servers. Create a CNAME record pointing to your Nixopus deployment: 
Type: CNAME
Name: app (or @ for root domain)
Value: your-project.nixopus.com
TTL: 3600 (or your provider's default)

​
A Record (Alternative)

If your DNS provider doesn’t support CNAME for root domains, use an A record: 
Type: A
Name: @
Value: [Nixopus IP address - contact support]
TTL: 3600
For root domains (example.com), use a CNAME if supported, or contact support for the A record IP address.

​
Domain Verification

Once you’ve added your DNS records:
  1. Wait for DNS propagation (usually 5-60 minutes)
  2. Nixopus will automatically verify your domain
  3. Your domain will be active once verified
You can check the status in your project’s Configuration tab.

​
SSL Certificates

Nixopus automatically provisions SSL certificates for your custom domains:
  • Automatic HTTPS - Your domain is secured with SSL/TLS
  • Auto-renewal - Certificates renew automatically
  • No configuration needed - Just add your domain and DNS
SSL certificates are issued automatically via Let’s Encrypt. The first certificate may take a few minutes to provision.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Domain Not Working

  1. Check DNS propagation: Use a tool like dig or nslookup
  2. Verify DNS records: Make sure your CNAME or A record is correct
  3. Wait for SSL: First-time SSL provisioning can take 5-10 minutes
  4. Check domain status: Look for any errors in the Configuration tab
