Use Your Own Domain on a Storage Share

A running Storage Share can now be reached at your own domain, such as files.example.com, with its own HTTPS certificate, next to its storage.danubedata.ro address.

Version 2.9.135FeatureStorage Share

What's changed

  • Open a running Storage Share's page and choose Add a domain in the Custom domains section (the button reads Manage domains once you have a domain). The instance keeps answering at its storage.danubedata.ro address too, and each instance takes up to 10 domains on every plan
  • Create the two records the console shows for the domain: a TXT record named _danubedata-verify under it, which proves the domain is yours and can be deleted once it is verified, and a CNAME to your instance's storage.danubedata.ro address, which you keep
  • We look for the records every 5 minutes for about the first 100 minutes, or you can press Check now at any time. Once the ownership record is found and the CNAME is published, the domain is connected and its HTTPS certificate is requested
  • Connecting or removing a domain restarts the instance, which takes about a minute, and a removed domain stops reaching it within a couple of minutes. Delete the domain's records at your DNS provider afterwards
  • A root domain such as example.com cannot take a CNAME: use your DNS provider's ALIAS, ANAME or CNAME flattening to the same address, or use a subdomain such as files.example.com
  • Once the domain shows Active, sign in at it in the browser, the desktop client or the mobile apps
