How to install Domain Locker on a Cloud VPS

Domain Locker tracks all your domains in one dashboard: expiry dates, DNS records, SSL certificates and registrar details, with alerts before renewals.

Monitoring on your own server gives you alerts and history without host limits or per-monitor monthly fees.

One-click install on cloudlinux.ro

The fastest way: Domain Locker installs automatically at the first boot of a new server.

1. Create a Cloud VPS from the control panel.
2. In the configuration step, pick Domain Locker from the app catalog.
3. Start the server. The install runs in the background for a few minutes and its status shows on the server page.
4. Access details and generated passwords are saved on the server in /root/app-credentials.txt. The app will be available on port 3000.

Manual install on any Ubuntu server

If you prefer doing it yourself, below is the exact script our automatic install runs. Execute it as root on a fresh Ubuntu server (24.04 recommended). It stops at the first error, and when it finishes you will find the access details in /root/app-credentials.txt.

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
mkdir -p /opt/domain-locker && cd /opt/domain-locker
curl -fsSL -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/domain-locker/HEAD/docker-compose.yml
DB_PASS=$(openssl rand -base64 24 | tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9' | cut -c1-20)
cat > .env <<EOF
DL_PG_PASSWORD=${DB_PASS}
EOF
docker compose up --wait -d
IP=$(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}')
printf 'Domain Locker: http://%s:3000\nAtentie: editia self-hosted NU are autentificare, oricine acceseaza adresa are acces complet. NU o expune public; foloseste firewall/VPN sau un proxy cu autentificare.\n' "$IP" > /root/app-credentials.txt

You can also save this script as a recipe in your account and reuse it on any new server.
