Render

you.runs-at.dev serving a Render web service, over HTTPS, via CNAME.

The record

domains/you.json

"records": { "CNAME": "you-service.onrender.com" }

Replace you-service with your service's own *.onrender.com hostname, shown at the top of the service page in the Render dashboard.

Steps

Note

Two ways to apply this. The quickest is runs-at.dev/manage: sign in, pick the record type, paste the value, save. It writes the same commit to the registry and DNS follows within seconds. The steps below do it by pull request instead, which is what you want if you would rather review the change first. Either way handles subdomains entries.

  1. Fork the registry and edit domains/you.json to the record above.
  2. Open a pull request. Once merged, the CNAME is synced to DNS automatically.
  3. In the Render dashboard: your service → Settings → Custom Domains → Add Custom Domain → you.runs-at.dev. Render verifies the CNAME and issues a certificate automatically.

How to tell it worked

Custom Domains shows the domain as verified once Render has confirmed the CNAME and issued a certificate. Visiting https://you.runs-at.dev should then serve the service.
