  • I’m using cloudflare as my DNS, and it’s literally just:

    • Create an A record.
    • Set the name to *
    • Set the IP to the appropriate server
    • You may want to untick the proxy, depending on what you’re hosting. If it’s web stuff only it’s fine, but if you’re doing anything else as well it’ll get in the way.

    On the letsencrypt side, it’s pretty similar. Create a certificate with domain.name and *.domain.name (if you want them to share a cert) and you’re off.


  • I host some private stuff on mine, hidden behind an authentication service that is. But because I just use a wildcard no-one can really tell what I have hosted - the same login page occurs for every subdomain, regardless of whether it’s actually wired up to something.

    That doesn’t help with services you wish to make semi-public (like a lemmy instance) though.
