DNS Domains

fylr and what to consider when using/changing DNS domains

You can point multiple DNS Records and thus domains to your fylr.

But keep in mind:

• fylr always has only one main DNS domain, configured in fylr.yml's externalURL, and fylr will redirect to this URL and use it for image URLs.

• The domain in externalURL has to be part of your fylr license. Except when testing as the fylr root user or on localhost.

• If fylr shall react to additional domains besides the one main domain, make sure that these are also present in the one certificate that fylr uses.

• If you let fylr retrieve the certificate automatically, you need to configure them as additionalDomains in fylr.yml. See HTTPS for examples and details about using certificates.

Changes to domains:

• When you change fylr's main domain, so after changing fylr.yml and restart, you need to do a re-indexation, which might take hours, if you have a lot of objects. It can be found in the inspect-Interface (https://fylr.example.com/inspect/ ) behind the System-button.

• Licenses are bound to domains so make sure you have a license for the new main domain configured as externalURL.

• Make sure that you either have a certificate for the new domain or to let fylr automatically retrieve a certificate for the new domain. And optionally, additionalDomains, as mentioned above.
