Domains

Overview

Domains in Tapitalee allow you to connect custom domain names to your application, providing branded URLs and professional web presence. The system handles DNS routing, SSL certificate management, and load balancer configuration to make your application accessible via your custom domain names.

Purpose and Benefits

  • Professional Branding: Use your own domain names instead of default URLs
  • Multiple Domains: Support multiple domains and subdomains for the same app
  • DNS Integration: Optionally integrates with Route53 if you use the Route53 add-on

How Domains Work

Domain setup involves:

  • Tapitalee provides a built-in hostname (under *.dns.tapitalee.net) to point your CNAME record to
  • Add your domain name(s) to Tapitalee, if using Tapitalee to set up a proxy/load balancer, so the domains can be direct to the applications.

Route53 Integration

Domains and subdomains that are added to an app will be automatically added to a Route53 Hosted Zone, if a Route53 add-on is present with a matching domain.

CLI Usage

Create Domain

Add a custom domain to the app

tapit create domain name=domain.com [--ignore-existing]

Parameters

  • name: The domain name to add (required, e.g., www.myapp.com)
  • --ignore-existing: Skip creation if a resource with the same name already exists (useful for idempotent scripts)

Examples

tapit create domain name=myapp.com

List Domains

List all custom domains configured for the app

tapit list domains

Delete Domain

Remove a custom domain from the app

tapit delete domain name=domain.com
