How to give away subdomains myself ?

Question

KaKi87 opened this issue a year ago · comments

Hello,

I have a 4-letter FQDN that will serve a free and open source URL shortener.

As a secondary use for it, I'm thinking about giving away subdomains too.

How can I do that ?

Thanks

Hmm... Technically it depends on the DNS provider. If it has an API - integrate your backend with it and... That's it!

My DNS provider is OVH and has an API, which is used by acme.sh for example.

Does the repo contain the source code for that integration ?

Aren't you using GitHub Actions to make those requests ?

What about you @is-a-dev, you mentioned your project is based on this one, how did you do it ?

Thanks

Yes, and I have used dnscontrol for this. Watch the repository sources

Actions are used, of course. Watch the repository sources

What about you https://github.com/is-a-dev, you mentioned your project is based on this one, how did you do it?

Where mentioned?

My bad, not based on, just related, from free-for.dev.

Considering both are using git PR-based registration, I assumed they shared the same codebase, but it seems not. Sorry 😅
