[custom domains] https shortlinks

[kze]

Just an feature request. Currently its only http but https would be nice.

[poeti8]

Yep, I'll see what I can do.

I've tried and it looks it works pretty good for https link.

[kze]

@muratdogan17 I don't think it works for custom domain.

[muratdogan17]

@kze oh, okay! I didn't get that you mean for custom domain 👍

[MohHeader]

Can we expect anything soon ? :)

[trgwii]

@MohHeader probably not straight away, this is a tricky problem to solve.

Should we generate certs per custom domain?
Should we allow user-uploaded certs?
etc...
Lots of difficult-to-tackle questions

--- Edit 1 :
Bitly also supports custom certificates. If your company does not want to use LetsEncrypt and has it's own custom SSL certificate, please email your Customer Success Manager or customersuccess@bitly.com for more details.

That's how Bit.ly do it :
Bitly has already secured SSL certificates for all branded domains through LetsEncrypt.

So the best available current solution is just to self-host Kutt ?

[trgwii]

Alright, I guess we could do LE certs for custom domains. I can try to write a script for this that the app can call.

@poeti8 any ACME client preferences?

I was able to deploy kutt.it on heroku with custom domain at https://new.zgzg.link/ and HTTPS works fine.

[trgwii]

This issue is for custom domains using the kutt.it instance, not custom instances

I was able to deploy kutt.it on heroku with custom domain at https://new.zgzg.link/ and HTTPS works fine.

can you please tell me how to setup https for the custom domain!
