Hi, I'm currently looking for the best way to allow my users to add their own domains (with a free SSL certificates like Lets Encrypt).
What would you suggest as a solution?
Best Regards
To generate free SSL certificates with Let's Encrypt, you have to execute commands manually.
Instead of executing them manually, you can write your own artisan commands and execute them via the web application.
https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/artisan#writing-commands
That way you can let yours users add their own SSL certificates.
To create their own domains, the logic is similar. But it depends on which webhosting you are.
@vincent15000 Currently Forge + Nginx
their own domain or subdomain?
Is this a multi tenant solution or does each customer get their own instance?
How good are your bash scripting skills?
Is this a laravel project?
@Snapey Multi tenant, i want to give the user a whitelabel option so they can brand ther software, for that they should can use their own domain.
@mionoeldavis Usually the customer adds a CNAME record to their domain pointing to your service. Your service will then need to provision an SSL certificate for that domain.
