Domain names

Each workspace lives on a subdomain of your base domain — acme.your-domain, globex.your-domain, and so on.

Wildcard DNS

Point a wildcard record at your server so every subdomain resolves without adding records one by one:

*.your-domain   A   <your server IP>

With the wildcard in place, creating a workspace needs no DNS change. The control plane can also create explicit per-subdomain records through your DNS provider's API if you prefer.

Wildcard TLS

Pair the wildcard DNS with a wildcard TLS certificate for *.your-domain in Nginx, so every workspace is served over HTTPS with no per-workspace certificate work.

Routing

Nginx routes each subdomain to the application server, and the database filter binds the subdomain to its database — so acme.your-domain always loads the acme workspace and nothing else.
