Domains #

By default, applications in Nullstone are protected behind private networks. In order to make our application public, we add a Domain from the "Domains" tab.

You can either configure a Nullstone Domain or bring your own Custom Domain.

Nullstone Domain #

A Nullstone Domain allows you to launch quickly without worrying about purchasing and configuring the domain. If you click to add a Nullstone domain to your application, Nullstone will automatically generate a public url in the form https://<generated>.nullstone.app. (where <generated> is a random set of letters and numbers)

example: https://nahozswuu2.nullstone.app:443

Custom Domain #

Nullstone allows you to register your company's domain and use it to configure custom urls for your applications. The example below illustrates the configuration of the subdomain api.acme.com.

Since this is a container application, the domain connects to your application using a Load Balancer Capability.

In order to ensure unique urls for each environment, the environment name will be appended. If the custom domain is configured as api.acme.com then the dev environment will be given a url of api.dev.acme.com and production will be api.acme.com. The chart below illustrates this example across many environments.

SSL Certificates #

No matter what type of domain you configure for your application, Nullstone will ensure that a valid SSL certificate is provisioned and your application is hosted using https.
