Introduction

We offer an option to access your Cloudbox's apps under your own domain.


Steps

Step 1 - Click on Custom Domains button

Find the app you wish to add a custom domain and expand it. Then click the Options button.


Step 2 - Fill in custom domains

Fill in the domains you want your app to be accessible from.

You can add multiple custom domains, separated by comma (e.g.: sonarr.mydomain.com,sonarr.myseconddomain.com).


Important notice: To add/remove domains, you will have to reinstall this app.


Step 3 - Click Install button


Step 4 - Configure your domain's DNS settings

You have two options:

  1. Add a CNAME record
    Type: CNAME
    Hostname: sonarr.mydomain.com
    Alias: username-sonarr.cp0x.cloudboxes.io

  2. Add an A record
    Type: A
    Hostname: sonarr.mydomain.com
    Value: CLOUDBOXIP


May take up to 24hours to propagate DNS changes globally.
