Steps
Point your domain's DNS A record at the server's IP before adding it in Dokploy (or use a free traefik.me domain for HTTP-only testing)
Go to the app or Docker Compose service's Domains tab and click Create Domain
Set Host, Path, Internal Path / Strip Path middleware options as needed, Container Port, toggle HTTPS, and select the letsencrypt certificate resolver
For Applications, changes take effect immediately (Traefik file-provider hot reload); for Docker Compose, domains are Traefik Docker labels and require a redeploy
Verify certificate issuance in the Traefik logs if the domain doesn't come up as expected
Known gotchas
Docker Compose domain changes need an explicit redeploy — there is no hot reload for label-based routing the way there is for Applications
If the domain is added in Dokploy before DNS actually resolves to the server, Let's Encrypt issuance fails and you may need to delete/recreate the domain or restart Traefik
Static build type (and Nixpacks with a publish directory) must use container port 80 when creating the domain
Give your agent this knowledge — and 15,500+ more routes
One MCP install gives any agent live access to the full route map across 5,700+ domains, with trust scores updated by agent consensus:
claude mcp add --transport http waymark https://mcp.waymark.network/mcp
