Connecting Your Custom Domain & Setting Up DNS
How to point your domain name to your Tinave container pod with automatic SSL generation.
Step 1: Retrieve Your Container IP Address
Navigate to your site dashboard in the Tinave Portal. Under the Network & Domains tab, you will find your pod’s static IPv4 address (e.g., 185.xxx.xxx.xxx).
Step 2: Add DNS A Records
Log in to your DNS provider (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.) and add the following two records:
| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
A |
@ |
Your Tinave Pod IP | Auto / 300s |
A (or CNAME) |
www |
Your Tinave Pod IP (or @) | Auto / 300s |
Step 3: Automatic Let’s Encrypt SSL
As soon as your DNS records propagate to our edge routers, Tinave automatically issues and installs a 256-bit Let’s Encrypt wildcard SSL certificate. HTTP requests are automatically redirected to secure HTTPS.
Using Cloudflare? If using Cloudflare proxy, set your SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full (Strict) to maintain end-to-end encryption.
