netstack wide area network (wan) domain setup

Current default netstack proceedure for public domain interface setup.

  1. Domain name management using https://domains.google/
    • Purchace your domain name using a google user accout you will manage this domain with.
    • Go to https://domains.google.com/registrar/netstack.org/dns
    • Use the Google Domains name servers
    • Create @ Resource Record pointing to github page servers 
       Name: @ 
 Type: A 
 TTL: 1h 
 Data: 185.199.108.153
   185.199.109.153
   185.199.110.153
   185.199.111.153

      This directs DNS request for this domain to github servers for resolution.

    • Create base domain Resource Record that points to your github user. 
       Name: 2cld.github.io 
 Type: A 
 TTL: 1h 
 Data: 185.199.108.153
   185.199.109.153
   185.199.110.153
   185.199.111.153

      In this case the 2cld github netstack repo is hosting the main landing page for netstack.org. This repo has a CNAME file that will allow the github DNS servers to resolve the DNS request to a specific github user repo.

    • Create yoursubdomain (subdomian) Resource Record. For “yoursubdomain.netstack.org” you would enter the following: 
       Name: yoursubdomain 
 Type: CNAME
 TTL: 1h 
 Data: 2cld.github.io.

      In this case the 2cld github user would host the “yoursubdomain” repo containing web pages for yoursubdomain.netstack.org. This repo has a CNAME file with “yoursubdomain.netstack.org” that will allow the github DNS servers to resolve the DNS request to a specific github user repo.

  2. Static Web management using CNAME on a https://github.com/ user repo.
  3. Create site reference documents
