Kubme and custom domains

Any component can go online at its own address: a site, a documentation, a list, a map, a calendar… You can choose between a *.kubme.app address, free and immediate, and your own domain name.

The Domains tab

How it works

You create a version of the component (see Version history).
You add a domain and assign it that version.
Visitors see that version, read-only. Your later changes only show after a new version.

Publishing on kubme.app

In the component: Configuration › Domains › Add domain.
Choose Kubme domain.
Type the address you want: lowercase letters, digits and hyphens, for example my-restaurant.
In Component version, select the version to publish.

Your component is online at https://my-restaurant.kubme.app.

Publishing on your domain

Configuration › Domains › Add domain › Custom domain.
Enter your domain, for example www.myrestaurant.com.
Kubme shows the DNS records to create at your registrar (OVH, Gandi, GoDaddy…):
a TXT record _kubme-verify.www.myrestaurant.com, to prove the domain is yours;
a CNAME to your kubme.app address (for a subdomain such as www);
or A records (for a bare domain such as myrestaurant.com).
Click Verify now, or let Kubme check on its own every 5 minutes.

The status goes from Waiting for DNS to Verified, certificate being issued, then Active. HTTPS is automatic. Without verification after 48 hours, the domain goes into error.

Prefer a subdomain

www.myrestaurant.com with a CNAME is simpler and more robust than a bare domain.

Custom domains depend on your plan.

Domain options

SEO & Social

Page title (120 characters max.) and Page description (320 characters max.);
Keywords;
Language and Theme;
Favicon;
Social image: the image shown when the link is shared on social networks.

Indexing

Allow search engines to index this site is unchecked by default: your publication does not show up in Google until you check it.

For each publication, Kubme automatically generates a robots.txt, a sitemap.xml and an llms.txt.

Tracking

Google Analytics: your measurement ID, in the format G-XXXXXXXXXX.

Access

Read-only publication: visitors cannot change the data.
Password (8 characters minimum): visitors must enter it to access the site.

Badge

Publications show a "Made with Kubme" badge. Hiding it requires the Pro plan.

Updating a publication

Create a new version, then choose it in the domain's Component version. The change is immediate.

Embed rather than publish?

To show a component inside another site, use a widget.
