CloudPanel Custom Domain

To run CloudPanel under your Custom Domain with a Let's Encrypt Certificate, do the following.

1. Click on Settings and then on General and enter the Domain Name.

DNS Record

A DNS Record pointing to this server is required to issue a Let's Encrypt Certificate.

2. Click on Save and wait seconds before the Let's Encrypt Certificate can be issued.

CloudPanel Custom Domain via Reverse Proxy

An alternative way to run CloudPanel under your Custom Domain is to use a Reverse Proxy, e.g., if you want to use your own SSL/TLS Certificate, which is useful where Let's Encrypt can't be used.

1. Go to Sites and create a Reverse Proxy.

2. Enter the Domain Name, enter https://127.0.0.1:8443 as Reverse Proxy Url.

3. Go to the SSL/TLS Settings and import your Certificate.

Database Servers

Using a separate Database Server to handle database queries has advantages like better performance and the possibility to restore to a specific time.
