DNS Configuration

In general you need an A record for all the domains or subdomains you want to use, pointing to the IP address of your server where you would like to deploy your application.

Note that you can use the same IP address for multiple domains and subdomains.

In the examples, 1.1.1.1 is your server’s IP address.

​

Single Domain

Let’s say you want deploy your resource to example.com with the IP address 1.1.1.1.

• You need to set an A record for example.com pointing to 1.1.1.1.

Then you can use https://example.com as a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for any of your resources, even for your Coolify instance.

​

Wildcard Domains

Let’s say you want deploy your resource to *.example.com with the IP address 1.1.1.1.

• You need to set an A record for *.example.com pointing to 1.1.1.1.

This allows you to use any subdomain of example.com as a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for any of your resources, even for your Coolify instance.

For example, you can use https://app.example.com or https://api.example.com as a FQDN.

​

Autogenerated Domains

If you set a wildcard domain in your DNS settings, you can also use Coolify to autogenerate domains for your resources. You just need to go to the Server settings and set the Wildcard Domain field to your domain, for example https://example.com.

Then if you create a new resource:

• You will get a random subdomain for your application, for example https://random.example.com.
• Also for your Preview Deployments, for example https://<PRId>.random.example.com.

​

Instance Domain

If you self-host Coolify, you can set your Coolify instance a custom domain in the /settings page.
