How do I connect my own domain to my server?
- Get your server's address from the IP Address row on the panel's Overview tab.
- In the DNS settings where you bought your domain, create an A record. For the name, use
@for the main domain or a subdomain such aswww. For the value, enter the IP address. - Wait for the DNS change to spread. This can take a while.
- Follow the steps below for your app.
HTTPS setup for web apps
Most ready-made apps with a web interface (such as WordPress, WooCommerce and Nextcloud) run behind Caddy, which handles HTTPS. You also need to add the new address to Caddy. Connect with SSH and, in your app's folder such as /opt/seturack/wordpress, open caddy/Caddyfile. Add your domain to the first line:
203-0-113-5.sslip.io, example.com {
If your site address starts with http://, change the first line to example.com { instead. Then run this in the same folder. Caddy gets the certificate by itself:
docker compose exec caddy caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile --adapter caddyfile
The remaining step for each app
| App | What to do |
|---|---|
| WordPress, WooCommerce | Under Settings > General, change both address fields to the new address. |
| Nextcloud | In the folder's .env file, change SITE_URL, SITE_HOST and SITE_ADI, then run docker compose up -d. Add the new address to Nextcloud's trusted domains. |
| WireGuard | Nothing else. The VPN connection keeps working by IP address. |
| TeamSpeak | Nothing changes on the server. Just type the domain instead of the IP. |
| Hosting panels (cPanel, Plesk, HestiaCP and similar) | Add the domain in the panel's add-site screen. The panel gets the certificate. |
| Other web apps | Change the app's own address setting too. You'll find where it is in the app's help article and in the questions on its page. |
| Docker, clean OS | Add it to the settings of the web server you installed. |
