Reliable Domain Routing

Every domain records the exact app, service, port, and network it targets, so routing survives reinstalls, rebuilds, and app moves. Server Compass verifies the route after every change and tells you the specific failure when something drifts.

Reliable Domain Routing Walkthrough

No documentation needed. Reliable Domain Routing guides you through each step visually.

1

Open Domain Settings

Navigate to the Domains & SSL section of your application.

2

Configure Domain

Use Reliable Domain Routing to set up your domain configuration.

3

Verify & Apply

Server Compass verifies your settings and applies changes automatically.

Terminal Required

Life Without Reliable Domain Routing

Here's what developers do without Reliable Domain Routing: open terminal, SSH in, type commands, hope nothing breaks.

1

SSH into your server

Connect to configure domains.

terminal
ssh root@your-server-ip
2

Install Certbot

Set up Let's Encrypt tooling.

terminal
apt update
apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
# Or for standalone:
apt install certbot
3

Configure nginx

Set up reverse proxy manually.

terminal
nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp
# server {
#     listen 80;
#     server_name myapp.com www.myapp.com;
#     location / {
#         proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
#         proxy_http_version 1.1;
#         proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
#         proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
#         proxy_set_header Host $host;
#         proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
#     }
# }

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
nginx -t
systemctl reload nginx

One syntax error = site down.

4

Generate SSL certificate

Run Certbot and cross your fingers.

terminal
certbot --nginx -d myapp.com -d www.myapp.com
# Answer the interactive prompts
# Wait for DNS verification
# Hope it doesn't fail
5

Set up auto-renewal

Don't forget or your cert expires.

terminal
# Test renewal
certbot renew --dry-run

# Add cron job
crontab -e
# 0 12 * * * /usr/bin/certbot renew --quiet

Forget this step and your site shows security warnings in 90 days.
