Automatic SSL/HTTPS

By default, your services are assigned free subdomains on sliplane.app with automatic SSL/HTTPS. Both the first certificate and all renewals are completely free of charge and done automatically, even for your own domains.

To find out how to use SSL/HTTPS for custom domains, see Custom domains.

How does it work?

We use Let’s Encrypt to automatically generate SSL certificates for your service. Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit. It is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). This means that your application does not need to handle SSL certificates or HTTPS at all. It can simply listen on the port provided by the environment variable PORT and Sliplane will take care of the rest. This also means that you will never have to worry about renewing your SSL certificate!
