## How to register
|
|
* First you need to create a pull request with your `domains/my-domain.json` file
|
|
* This PR will be reviewed
|
|
* The changes will take effect soon after the PR gets merged
|
|
* And that's it
|
|
|
|
### For github pages users
|
|
* A github pages json file (with cname record and https redirection) will look something like this -
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"description": "Add some description",
|
|
"repo": "https://github.com/github-username/github-username.github.io",
|
|
"owner": {
|
|
"username": "github-username",
|
|
"email": "any@email"
|
|
},
|
|
"record": {
|
|
"CNAME": "github-username.github.io"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
* After the pull request is merged, you will see a 404 error on `your-domain.is-a.dev`. To fix this go to your github page repo's `Settings > Github pages > Custom domain` and add `your-domain.is-a.dev` in the given field
|
|
* Check the `Enforce HTTPS` checkbox below the custom domain input
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Domains json file
|
|
The way you register your own domain name is through a pull request.
|
|
To register `my-domain.is-a.dev`, you need to create a `domains/my-domain.json` file
|
|
|
|
The file name must pass the following criteria -
|
|
* Must be alpha numeric with dashes as seperators
|
|
* Must be more than 2 characters long
|
|
|
|
|
|
The file needs to have the following fields -
|
|
|
|
### owner (required)
|
|
You need to specify some information about yourself here.
|
|
This is so that you can be contacted if required.
|
|
|
|
In the owner object, the fields `username` and `email` are required. You can however add more information in this object if you need.
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"owner": {
|
|
"username": "github-username",
|
|
"email": "any@email"
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### description
|
|
Describe your domain name and your usage. This is purely for documentation purpose and is optional.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### repo
|
|
This is a link to your website repository or your github account. This is purely for documentation purpose and is optional.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### record (required)
|
|
This is where you specify how you want to link to your server/webpage.
|
|
|
|
Currently, only `CNAME`, `A`, `URL` record types are supported.
|
|
|
|
Here's a few different use cases for the given record types -
|
|
|
|
* **CNAME**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"record": {
|
|
"CNAME": "username.github.io"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **A record**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"record": {
|
|
"A": [
|
|
"999.999.991.999",
|
|
"999.999.992.999",
|
|
"999.999.993.999",
|
|
"999.999.994.999"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **URL redirection**
|
|
