How to use cloudron without a domain name or opening ports?
-
I really want to get cloudron setup on my home server, and I already installed it in a Ubuntu VM. But the setup is forcing me to use a domain name, how can I bypass this?
I do not want to use a domain name, I dont want to use lets encrypt, I dont want to open ports on my router. I have a VPN setup that I use to access all my stuff and I have no intentions of ever ever opening up any of my servers to the internet.
Please there must be a way to bypass this and use cloudron without a domain name, and opening ports on my router.

@relink Cloudron does not work without a domain name. Many features like DNS integration, certificate management, reverse proxy setup etc all require a domain name.
Maybe you can try a setup like this:
- Pick an imaginary domain name like
relink.home - Choose the
noop (only for development)DNS provider. - In
Advancedsection, chooseSelf signed certificates
In your router/DNS, just add entries for
*.relink.homeandrelink.hometo the server's IP. Alternately, add those entires to the/etc/hostsof your PC. You should then be able to reach,my.relink.homeand install apps. - Pick an imaginary domain name like
