Use Reserved TLDs + +**Recommendation:** Use `.test` for development as it's officially reserved for testing. + +```dotenv +# Recommended +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.test + +# Also good +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.localhost + +# Avoid +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.dev # .dev requires HTTPS everywhere (owned by Google) +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.com # Real TLD, may cause conflicts +``` + +### 2. Use Wildcards for Flexibility + +**Recommendation:** Use wildcard domains to avoid updating DNS for every new service. + +```dotenv +# Good: One wildcard covers all subdomains +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.myapp.test + +# Less flexible: Must add each subdomain to /etc/hosts +# (No CUSTOM_DOMAINS, manual /etc/hosts entries) +``` + +### 3. Match Production Patterns + +**Recommendation:** Mirror your production domain structure in local development. + +**Production:** +- `api.mycompany.com` +- `admin.mycompany.com` +- `www.mycompany.com` + +**Local:** +```dotenv +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.mycompany.test +``` + +**Services:** +- `api.mycompany.test` +- `admin.mycompany.test` +- `www.mycompany.test` + +### 4. Document Team Configuration + +**Recommendation:** Add a `docs/LOCAL_SETUP.md` to your project repository. + +**Example:** +```markdown +# Local Development Setup + +## Custom Domains + +This project uses `*.myapp.test` domains. + +### DNS Setup + +**Linux/macOS:** +```bash +# Install dnsmasq +sudo apt install dnsmasq # or brew install dnsmasq + +# Configure +echo "address=/.test/127.0.0.1" | sudo tee /etc/dnsmasq.d/test-dev.conf +sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq +``` + +**Windows:** +Add to `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts`: +``` +127.0.0.1 myapp.test +127.0.0.1 api.myapp.test +``` + +### Access + +- Frontend: https://myapp.test +- API: https://api.myapp.test +``` + +### 5. Keep Certificates Updated + +**Recommendation:** Regenerate certificates when adding new domains. + +```bash +# Add to .env +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.test,*.myapp.local + +# Regenerate +./setup.sh + +# Verify +openssl x509 -in certs/local-cert.pem -text -noout | grep DNS +``` + +### 6. Use Consistent Naming + +**Recommendation:** Establish a naming convention for your team. + +**Good patterns:** +- `..test` (e.g., `api.myapp.test`, `admin.myapp.test`) +- `-.test` (e.g., `myapp-api.test`, `myapp-admin.test`) +- `..test` (e.g., `dev.myapp.test`, `staging.myapp.test`) + +### 7. Avoid Real TLDs + +**Recommendation:** Never use real TLDs for local development. + +**Problems with real TLDs:** +- DNS queries may leak to the internet +- May conflict with real domains +- Can cause confusion +- Security and privacy concerns + +**Bad examples:** +```dotenv +# Don't use these +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.com +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.net +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.org +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=mycompany.com # Even if you own it +``` + +### 8. Platform-Specific Considerations + +**Linux:** +- Prefer dnsmasq with NetworkManager integration +- Use systemd-resolved if your distribution uses it +- Keep dnsmasq configurations in `/etc/dnsmasq.d/` + +**macOS:** +- Use `/etc/resolver/` for per-domain DNS configuration +- Flush DNS cache after changes +- Avoid `.local` due to Bonjour conflicts + +**Windows/WSL2:** +- Update hosts file in both WSL2 and Windows +- Use Docker Desktop WSL2 integration +- Test in both WSL2 terminal and Windows browser + +## Common Patterns + +### Pattern 1: Single Project, Multiple Services + +**Scenario:** One application with microservices. + +**Configuration:** +```dotenv +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.myapp.test +``` + +**Services:** +```yaml +# docker-compose.yml +services: + frontend: + labels: + - "traefik.http.routers.frontend.rule=Host(`myapp.test`)" + + api: + labels: + - "traefik.http.routers.api.rule=Host(`api.myapp.test`)" + + admin: + labels: + - "traefik.http.routers.admin.rule=Host(`admin.myapp.test`)" +``` + +**Access:** +- https://myapp.test +- https://api.myapp.test +- https://admin.myapp.test + +### Pattern 2: Multiple Projects, Different TLDs + +**Scenario:** Multiple independent projects. + +**Configuration:** +```dotenv +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.projecta.test,*.projectb.test,*.projectc.test +``` + +**Projects:** +- Project A: `projecta.test`, `api.projecta.test` +- Project B: `projectb.test`, `api.projectb.test` +- Project C: `projectc.test`, `api.projectc.test` + +### Pattern 3: Environment Simulation + +**Scenario:** Simulate different environments locally. + +**Configuration:** +```dotenv +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.dev.local,*.staging.local,*.prod.local +``` + +**Usage:** +```yaml +# Development environment +services: + app: + labels: + - "traefik.http.routers.app-dev.rule=Host(`app.dev.local`)" + +# Staging environment (different compose file) +services: + app: + labels: + - "traefik.http.routers.app-staging.rule=Host(`app.staging.local`)" +``` + +### Pattern 4: Team Standardization + +**Scenario:** Entire team uses consistent domain pattern. + +**Configuration:** +```dotenv +# company-wide standard +CUSTOM_DOMAINS=*.company.test +``` + +**Team guidelines:** +- Frontend: `.company.test` +- API: `-api.company.test` +- Admin: `-admin.company.test` +- Database tools: `-db.company.test` + +**Example:** +- `shop.company.test` +- `shop-api.company.test` +- `shop-admin.company.test` +- `blog.company.test` +- `blog-api.company.test` + +--- + +## Additional Resources + +- [RFC 6761 - Special-Use Domain Names](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6761) +- [mkcert Documentation](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) +- [dnsmasq Documentation](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) +- [Traefik Routing Documentation](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/routers/) +- [Integration Guide](INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md) - Using custom domains in frameworks + +--- + +**Have questions or suggestions?** Open an issue in the GitHub repository or check the [Integration Guide](INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md) for framework-specific examples. diff --git a/setup.sh b/setup.sh index 8d573cc..7e4c418 100755 --- a/setup.sh +++ b/setup.sh @@ -314,14 +314,47 @@ else log_info "Docker network 'traefik-proxy' already exists." fi -# 4.
