Panel address

Once local domains work, the panel itself can have an address too.

Give the panel an address

Settings → Domains → Panel address: enter a name, e.g. stackmoor, and click Save. The panel is then also available at https://stackmoor.home.example.com.

Saving only reloads Caddy’s configuration – nothing is downloaded or restarted.

Allow the panel only at its address

You can block opening the panel by IP address (e.g. http://192.168.1.50:5001). After that, the panel only opens at its domain, and visits by IP are redirected there.

To make sure you can’t lock yourself out:

• the option can only be turned on while you have the panel open at its domain – proof that the address works,
• requests from your own server (for example health checks) still work.

Note

Your browser treats the domain and the IP address as two different sites, so you log in once more after switching.

If the domain stops working

Unlock the panel from the server’s shell:

docker exec stackmoor node src/cli.js unlock

On Unraid, use your container’s name instead of stackmoor. After that the panel opens by IP address again.
