Control your own DNS

Use a custom domain with Fission and keep control of your DNS

By adding a TXT record for your app and a CNAME pointing at our gateway, you can run your DNS elsewhere but still have a custom domain for your Fission app.

Add a CNAME pointing to ipfs.runfission.com

For your domain, YOURAPPDOMAIN.com, go into your DNS provider control panel and add a CNAME pointing to ipfs.runfission.com.

@ usually represents the "root" or domain apex. Some DNS providers don't support a CNAME for your root, so you'll need to add a CNAME for www instead.

The process for a subdomain is the same SUB.YOURAPPDOMAIN.com, but looks a little different. Go into your DNS provider control panel and add a CNAME pointing to ipfs.runfission.com.

Next, add a TXT record pointing to your app subdomain. Your APPNAME is created when you run fission app register, and will look something like junior-angular-tulip . We're creating a link to say that the content from your app should be served up your domain with a special dnslink record:

Subdomains function the same way, with the _dnslink subdomain, where you're adding the TXT record being "above" the SUB.YOURDOMAIN.com record, which looks like this:

Get in touch to complete the process

This process is not fully automated right now, so you'll need to send us an email support@fission.codes or drop by our support page to send us a chat, and we can get things setup on our end.
