Changelog - 16 June 2021: SSL, Domain, and Bug Fixes

SSL/TLS Method (Basic / Advanced)

RunCloud provides two different SSL/TLS Method, Basic and Advanced
SSL/TLS Basic is where one SSL certificate is issued for all domains under a web application. It is the same feature before this update, and all existing SSL before this update becomes SSL/TLS basic for backward compatibility. It is available for all paid plans.
SSL/TLS Advanced is where one SSL certificate can be issued for each domain under a web application. It is available for Business plan user.
SSL/TLS Advanced is ideal for a web application with multiple domains, ideal for SaaS/WaaS sites with multisite/multitenancy support.
You can switch SSL/TLS basic Basic <--> Advanced SSL from WebApp settings or SSL/TLS page.

AutoSSL provides ability to deploy Lets Encrypt SSL automatically after you create new webapp, add new domain to webapp, cloning web application, and WordPress staging.
AutoSSL option is available when you use SSL/TLS Advanced method. It is available for Business plan user.
AutoSSL will try to deploy LetsEncrypt for the added domain within 24 hours. Self-signed SSL certificate is provided as fallback during AutoSSL process. Please make sure that DNS record of the domain should be updated and propagated within 24 hours.
AutoSSL can be combined with Cloudflare DNS integration to make both updating DNS records and deploying Lets Encrypt SSL run automatically.
For existing website, AutoSSL option can be enabled/disabled anytime from WebApp settings menu

RunCloud offers new SSL option, to deploy Self Signed SSL Certificate. It is useful for development/testing purpose, not for production use.
Self Signed SSL Certificate can be used for RunCloud test domain.
Deploy/Edit SSL page layout has been improved and easy to use.
For advanced users, you can also change SSL chippers and EDCH curve if you need it.

Domain in web applications now is divided into 3 types domain: primary, alias, redirect
Primary domain is the main domain of your web application
Alias domain is an extra/additional domain of your web application
Redirect is domain that will be redirected to primary domain (301 redirect).
For backward compatibility, all of your existing webapp domains become alias domain.
You can set an alias/redirect domain as primary domain in your web application.
For WordPress web application, when you change your primary domain, search & replace will be done to update domain URL of your WordPress database.

WWW, Preferred Domain Version, and Wildcard

Previously, you need to add www version or wildcard as another domain name, separated from the main domain.
Now, you can enable/disable www version and/or wildcard from a domain directly from your Domain name menu.
If www version is enabled, you can choose preferred domain version, either www or non-www or no preference.
When you set “www” for preferred domain version, non-www to www redirection is applied automatically without extra config.
When you set “non-www” for preferred domain version, www to non-www redirection is applied automatically without extra config.
For backward compatibility, RunCloud doesn’t set preferred domain version for all domain in your existing webapp before this update.
You can enable www version and select preferred domain version when you create new webapp, add new domain, and create cloning/staging.

Cloudflare DNS Integration

You can enable Cloudflare DNS integration when you create new webapp, add new domain, and create cloning/staging.
When Cloudflare DNS integration is active, DNS record(s) will be added/updated automatically also when you add new domain, enable www, and enable wildcard
You can disable Cloudflare DNS integration of a domain under Domain menu in your Web App. It is useful if you want to add the same domain to another server with Cloudflare DNS integration.
When you deploy Lets Encrypt SSL with dns-01 authorization method with SSL/TLS Advanced and Cloudflare DNS integration is active, Cloudflare API key will be automatically selected.

You can add/update MX Records in Cloudflare via DNS Manager menu
You can search a domain name in DNS Manager menu. It is useful if you have a lot of domains in your Cloudflare account
