Domains & SSL
How LoomDeploy handles custom domains and automatic HTTPS with Traefik and Let's Encrypt.
How it works
LoomDeploy uses Traefik as a reverse proxy. Every project is automatically assigned a subdomain and gets a free TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt — no manual configuration needed.
Auto-generated subdomains
When you create a project named api, it is instantly available at:
https://api.yourdomain.com
The certificate is provisioned automatically within seconds using the ACME HTTP-01 challenge.
Custom domains
Custom domain support is on the roadmap and not yet available in v0.1.0.
Custom domain support (e.g. pointing app.myclient.com to a project) is planned for an upcoming release. Follow the GitHub issue for updates.
Certificate renewal
Let's Encrypt certificates expire every 90 days. Traefik renews them automatically — no action required on your part.
Certificates are stored in the acme.json file mounted into the Traefik container.
Troubleshooting SSL
If your domain shows a certificate error:
- Check DNS — make sure your domain's A record points to your VPS IP.
- Check ports — port 80 and 443 must be open and reachable from the internet.
- Check Traefik logs:
Terminal
docker logs traefik --tail 100
- Rate limits — Let's Encrypt has a limit of 5 failed certificates per domain per hour. Wait before retrying.
