Custom Domain
You can easily make Appsmith available on a custom domain by updating your domain's DNS records to point to the instance running Appsmith. Most domain registrars / DNS providers have documentation on how you can do this yourself.
Docker/K8s
After configuring your custom domain as above, getting HTTPS support is super easy. Just tell Appsmith about the custom domain and you are on.

# Example Docker Configuration

APPSMITH_CUSTOM_DOMAIN=appsmith.mydomain.com
Copied!
Please ensure port 80 on your server is open and accessible from the Internet for the HTTPS certificate to be provisioned.
AWS AMI
- Once your instance is ready, connect to that instance (via SSH) using your key pair (Create in step 2) and the public IP of your instance (Created in step 4) via the terminal or any SSH Client that you have
- Move to
/home/ubuntu/appsmith/stacks/configurationfolder - Edit the
docker.envfile here and change the value ofAPPSMITH_CUSTOM_DOMAINvariable to your custom domain. For example:1APPSMITH_CUSTOM_DOMAIN=appsmith.mydomain.comCopied! - Now restart your instance using
docker-compose restart appsmith. This will provision the SSL certificate automatically before starting the server.
At this point, you should be able to browse to the cloud server by entering your custom domain directly into your browser's address bar with HTTPS.
Please ensure port 80 on your server is open and accessible from the Internet for the HTTPS certificate to be provisioned.

DigitalOcean
To host the Appsmith DigitalOcean droplet on a custom domain, you'll need to select the Add a domain option from the dashboard.
It redirects you to a new page. Add your domain name there. Once that's done, it'll give you records of the name servers. Copy the details of the NS (name servers). Use the custom name server's configuration on your domain provider. Sometimes, it might take up to 24-48 hours for this to go live!
Your Appsmith instance should be available at https://appsmith.mydomain.com with automatic certificate provisioning and renewals.
