Managello uses Caddy to provision and renew HTTPS certificates automatically once your domain resolves to the server.
1. Add a DNS record
Create an A record for your domain pointing at your server's public IP address. If you use a subdomain (e.g. app.youragency.com), add the record for that host.
2. Set your app URL
In the setup wizard (or later in settings), set the canonical URL to your domain. Managello uses this to build links and to request the certificate.
3. Wait for the certificate
Once DNS has propagated, load your domain over https://. The first request triggers certificate issuance; give it up to a minute. After that, renewals are automatic.
Troubleshooting
- Still on HTTP? Confirm the A record resolves with
dig yourdomain. - Certificate error? Make sure ports 80 and 443 are open on your firewall.
