SSL/TLS certificates
6 min
Automatic HTTPS
All CupaDev deployments automatically include free SSL/TLS certificates via Let's Encrypt.
Custom Domain SSL
When you add a custom domain:
- Add your domain in project settings
- Update your DNS records as instructed
- CupaDev automatically provisions an SSL certificate
- Certificate auto-renews before expiration
Certificate Types
- Standard SSL: Free Let's Encrypt certificates (DV)
- Custom SSL: Upload your own certificate (EV/OV)
- Wildcard SSL: Secure all subdomains
Uploading Custom Certificates
cupadev certs add --cert cert.pem --key key.pem --domain example.com
Certificate Monitoring
CupaDev monitors certificate expiration and sends alerts before renewal is needed.
Best Practices
- Always use HTTPS for production
- Enable HSTS headers
- Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
- Use modern TLS versions (1.2+)
