Multiple domains and access via IP address

[KernelDeimos]

Currently the biggest pain-point of self-hosting Puter is the need to setup a domain name.

Some specific examples of the inconvenience:

• #193 - might be config mismatch, but not sure
• #199 - necessary to specify public port in config
• #204 - login error ("blank red box"), likely config mismatch
• #211 - init gui error ("blue page"), might be config mismatch
• #221 - when using Cloudflare, users literally pay for this
• #229 - necessary to set domain in config.json

We can solve this by:

• Add a mode where api. subdomain is replaced with /api route
• Also allow api. to be a different domain
• Allow multiple domains
  • default configuration allows all domains
  • maybe optionally enable an includeslist

Some hurdles/considerations:

• puter.js and GUI both need to be updated to work with either api. or /api

Is there any updates now?

Is there any updates now?

So far we've added a config option to remove the requirement of a api. subdomain:

    "experimental_no_subdomain": true,

Thanks, the problem has been solved.

But another issue happend, and I think it's the same problem. I can not open https://dev-center.puter.xxx.com。

The Dev Center is not yet available on self-host. It's planned though.

OK, when will be ready?

I'm not sure if this issue is related to that one, but every app I've created get its expired subdomain after a while even if other users are using it as I can see in discord, shall I open a new ticket?

What could trigger that issue:

• Changing domain name in other apps,
• Create a new app on existing one (not the one that gets expired subdomain),
• Not opening that app for a couple of days?

Hi @bitsnaps please do open a new issue. This is very bad we need investigate it.

@KernelDeimos is this option still valid? I put it into my config but still the api domain is used.
