Wildcard Alias added, but no https

[sfeldkamp]

I've added a wildcard alias to the custom app install for the app that I am packaging. It works, entering an address like test2.[app.domain.com] resolves to the app. However, there is no valid security certificate for it.

I've restarted the app. Is there another step that I need to do? I didn't see anything in the docs.

Also, is it possible to setup a wildcard alias during app installation? I'd prefer not to ask the user to do this, if possible.

Oh, my domain is setup with a DNS provider of "Wildcard" domain but the "Let's Encrypt Prod" certificate provider. I probably need to switch that around to a programmatic provider instead.

@sfeldkamp mine works with those settings

Did you set up AAAA as well as A records ?

Note that your existing wildcard *.blah.com does NOT cover *.foo.blah.com . You have to add another wildcard entry ...

I switched to my domain registrar as the provider, connected with an API key, regenerated the certs, and then synced DNS records. Everything seems to be working as I need it to.

Can anyone answer my second question... Is there a way to setup a domain alias during app installation so the user doesn't have to configure it manually?

[joseph]

@sfeldkamp the API supports it via the aliasDomains property in the domains route but the UI only supports settings the primary domain right now. (not sure if this is what you are asking?)

Thank you, I see that here: https://docs.cloudron.io/api.html#tag/Apps/operation/installApp.

I want to set this value automatically during App Installation. Is there a way to do that using either the CloudronManifest.json file or the Cloudron CLI?

Hello @sfeldkamp

You can do this with the cloudron cli or the API.

API example based on the Cloudron LAMP app:

export ACCESS_TOKEN="YOUR_CLOUDRON_TOKEN"
export CLOUDRON_DOMAIN="my.DOMAIN.TLD"

curl "https://${CLOUDRON_DOMAIN}/api/v1/apps?access_token=${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"appStoreId":"lamp.cloudronapp.php74@5.0.1","subdomain":"domain1","domain":"cloudron.dev","secondaryDomains":{},"aliasDomains":[{"domain": "cloudron.dev", "subdomain": "domain2"}, {"domain": "cloudron.dev", "subdomain": "*.wildcarddomain"}],"ports":{},"accessRestriction":null}'

CLI example based on the Cloudron LAMP app:

cloudron install --appstore-id "lamp.cloudronapp.php74@5.0.1" --location "domain1" --alias-domains "domain2,*.wildcarddomain"

CLI example for a custom app:
Note: I am using the yq tool to get the id and version from the CloudronManifest.json since this is how I also build the docker images for convenience.
Info: You need to add "multiDomain": true, to the CloudronManifest.json to enable domain aliases, see: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/manifest/#multidomain

cloudron install --location $(yq -r .id CloudronManifest.json) --image dr.cloudron.dev/$(yq -r .id CloudronManifest.json):$(yq -r .version CloudronManifest.json) --alias-domains "domain2,*.wildcarddomain"

I see, I think. I'll try to work the API example into the start.sh script that runs when the app is started.
