Connect Your Domain to a Container

If you have your own domain name, you can connect it to a Nexaa container and make your application available via a custom URL.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you meet the following requirements:

  • You own a domain name and have access to its DNS settings.
  • You have a container image ready that hosts a website or application on a specific port.
  • You have created a CNAME record in your DNS manager pointing to:
    nlhaa1-sc1-ingress.tilaa.com

Steps

Follow these steps to link your domain to your container:

  1. Create or Edit a Container

Go to the container creation or edit screen in the Nexaa portal.

  1. Enable Public Access

In the section “Should this container be accessible on the internet?”, toggle the setting to enable internet access.

  1. Add Your Domain

Click “+ Add new domain”.

  1. Enter Domain Details

  2. Domain Name: Enter your custom domain name (e.g., app.example.com) that has the CNAME pointing to nlhaa1-sc1-ingress.tilaa.com.

  3. Port: Specify the port your container is listening on.
    Example: If your container exposes a website on port 5002, enter 5002.

  4. (Optional) Restrict Access by IP

  5. You can restrict access by specifying allowed IP addresses.

  6. If left blank, the container will be accessible from anywhere in the world.

  7. Click Add

Confirm the domain entry and click Add.

  1. Save the Container

Make sure to save your container changes to apply the domain configuration.

Imporant

Once saved, your container will become available at the specified domain.
Please allow time for DNS changes to propagate — this may take several minutes to a few hours depending on your domain registrar.
