Doska

HTTPS

Give a public Doska deployment a certificate: Caddy proxy handles Let's Encrypt.

Use this guide if you need your deployment to be served over HTTPS.

Setup

Point the domain's DNS at the host first, then in .env:

DOMAIN=doska.example.com
BASE_URL=https://doska.example.com

Start with the https profile:

docker compose -f docker-compose.selfhost.yml --profile https up -d

That launches a bundled Caddy proxy, which fetches a Let's Encrypt certificate for DOMAIN and renews it automatically.

Notes

  • BASE_URL has to match the origin visitors actually use, with no trailing slash.
  • The certificate is issued on demand, so the domain must resolve to this host before you start the profile; otherwise the challenge fails and Caddy retries.
  • Already behind your own reverse proxy or a tunnel? Skip the profile entirely, leave the app on WEB_PORT, and just set BASE_URL to the public origin your proxy serves.
