Domains And Routes

Moltern can provide a generated URL for workloads that expose a web interface. You can also attach custom domains to applications and services.

Generated Moltern URL​

Use the generated URL first.

It confirms:

• The workload is running.
• The route is created.
• The app listens on the expected port.
• The service web interface is reachable.

Do not add a custom domain until the generated URL works.

Add A Custom Domain​

1. Open the application or service detail page.
2. Open Settings.
3. Enter the domain name.
4. Click Add.
5. Copy the records shown by Moltern to your domain provider.
6. Wait for provider propagation.
7. Click Check now.
8. Use the domain after the status becomes active.

Domain Status​

Status	Meaning
pending	Moltern is waiting for the required records to be visible.
active	The domain is verified and can be used.
failed	Verification timed out or records do not match.

Record Handling​

Use only the exact host and value shown in the UI for that workload.

Do not reuse values from:

• Another workload.
• Another environment.
• Screenshots.
• Old tickets.
• Internal notes.

Common Domain Problems​

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
Pending for a long time	Records were not added, were added at the wrong provider, or have not propagated yet.	Check the provider and click Check now later.
Failed	Verification window expired or values do not match.	Remove and re-add the domain, then copy the new values.
Generated URL works, custom domain does not	Domain records or verification are not complete.	Use the generated URL until the custom domain is active.
App domain active but app fails	App runtime issue, not domain verification.	Check app logs, port, and health path.

Security Guidance​

• Use custom domains only for workloads meant to be public.
• Add authentication inside the service when needed.
• Remove domains before deleting a workload if the domain will be reused elsewhere.
• Keep admin-only services private unless access controls are configured.

Production Domain Checklist​

• Generated Moltern URL works.
• Workload owner approved public exposure.
• Required records were copied from the current UI.
• Domain status is active.
• Authentication is configured when required.
• External users can reach the expected page.
• Old domains are removed when no longer needed.
