Using a domain - rejetto/hfs GitHub Wiki

How to use a domain with HFS?

First, be sure that your domain is working correctly.

A domain is just a name/alias for your IP address, so you only need to replace the numeric IP in your HFS address.

Example:

  • your HFS is working at http://1.2.3.4
  • your domain is gnappo.ddns.net
  • then you can access your HFS on http://gnappo.ddns.net

That's it, you're done!

As you can see, it's just another address; you don't need to do anything on HFS. The new address works provided your domain is configured correctly.

If you are using a non-standard port and your address was like http://1.2.3.4:8011, include it with the domain: http://gnappo.ddns.net:8011

Please note that the numeric address still works; you can use both.

The above also applies to dynamic domains like the ones offered by No-IP.

Optional step

You can tell HFS to use your domain when displaying an address.

  1. Go to Admin-panel
  2. Click Internet
  3. In the "Address" section, click "Change"
  1. Enter your domain in the field "Custom IP or domain"
  2. Save

If you are using a custom port, you need to enter it together with the domain, for example: gnappo.ddns.net:8011
