Custom Domains

Custom domains let a published site live at a domain you own, such as docs.example.com.

Why use a custom domain

Use a custom domain when public docs should live under your brand, match your search presence, or sit beside your product website.

Setup flow

Add the domain in publishing settings and follow the DNS instructions shown in Dokki. Once DNS verifies and the domain becomes active, Dokki serves the published site from that host.

Subdirectory publishing

Dokki's proxy infrastructure can also support subdirectory-style publishing, such as example.com/docs, when configured through the Cloudflare Worker/proxy layer. This is an advanced deployment path and depends on the host site's routing setup.

Canonicals and discovery

Published pages use the active custom domain or proxied base URL as the public base when resolving links and metadata. If the site is unlisted, it still gets noindex behavior even on a custom domain.

Powered by Dokki

Published pages currently show Dokki branding in the public layout. Custom domains change the URL and brand context, but do not remove the powered-by footer by themselves.
