Basic TLS support based on .pem files. I looked at doing ACME, but it's rather complicated as this requires dns-01 verification, which requires setting a "_acme-challenge.domain.com" record. https://github.com/go-acme/lego includes support for this, but it still requires giving lego (and thus goatcounter) API access to the domain, which is rather meh. I solved this on goatcounter.com using CNAME to an unimportant domain: - goatcounter.com is managed by TransIP. - goatcount.com is managed by CloudFlare (it's the only domain on my account there) - _acme-challenge.goatcounter.com is a CNAME to goatcounter.goatcount.com - In the dns-01 verification we set the goatcount.com address, so we only need to have the cloudflare API keys. I think the best solution is to implement #120 first. With that, we don't need to muck about with wildcard certs, and can just use http-01 challenge for one domain.

TODO: - Manage additional sites (maybe just disable this?) - Don't display code in Settings, change "custom domain" text. - Remove help etc. from footer. - Don't reserve domains. - Don't show "delete account". Fixes #120

Right now self-hosting GoatCounter is a bit more complicated than it needs to be because it assumes you want to run a SaaS, like GoatCounter.com
This doesn't apply to most self-host instances, it should be easier to set this up. For example:
That will just serve domain ID 1 on any domain (i.e. it won't attempt to check subdomain codes and whatnot). There should also be a command to create a site (
goatcounter -init-singledomain).Depends on #108.
