Stable Domain Setup

If you want a custom domain name like https://dodo.airport.com you'll need a Cloudflare and >$20 to purchase the domain.

Setup Cloudflare

• Sign up at Cloudflare and verify email — Fundamentals: Get started
• Install Cloudflare downloads page (skip this if you previously used quick links successfully)
  • Open Powershell or Terminal and type cloudflared --version to confirm install was successful
  • If it won't start: Troubleshoot Tunnel

Domain on Cloudflare

• Either buy a domain in Cloudflare (Registrar), or add a domain you already own (Add site) and point its nameservers to what Cloudflare shows (Primary setup (full), Set up a primary zone)
• Wait until the site shows Active in Cloudflare if you moved nameservers

Zero Trust (needed for a named tunnel — this is how SDT serves your website without you re-uploading any files to Cloudflare)

• Open Zero Trust in the dashboard and finish any free setup (add team name if asked, only you see this) — Set up Cloudflare One
• This will ask you to select a plan, go with the free one. Most people will never need a paid plan.
• Paid plans may be required if you have a large audience, Cloudflare will let you know if you reach plan limits. If the website ever feels slower than usual, check Cloudflare for any usage or plan updates.

Named tunnel + public hostname

• Cloudflare Tunnel docs (overview)
• In the dashboard (side menu) navigate to Networks → Tunnels → Create a tunnel (connector on your PC) — Create a tunnel (dashboard)

• Name the tunnel (for example thedodoterminal)

• Copy the tunnel token (treat it like a password, do not share this with anyone, even team members)

• Add a Public Hostname: HTTP → http://localhost:7070 (SDT's default dashboard port, enter this exactly unless you manually changed it) — Protocols / service types

• Now lets configure the tunnel.

• In the tunnel, add a public address that sends traffic to your PC, this is the act of SDT serving your website. It only serves the Dodo Site folder generated later in this section. Set the service to HTTP and the address to http://localhost:7070 (only change this if you changed SDT's dashboard port yourself)
• Select the https link visitors will use (your subdomain on your domain), for example https://yourdomain.com
  • Select the domain from the dropdown. This dropdown will have multiple domains listed if you have more than one domain through Cloudflare. Make sure you select the right one.
• Add a route for each link/subdomain you want visitors to be able to use (commonly both root and www), you can even choose something fun like 'dodo'

• Players can only find your website at the exact URLs listed as routes here

• You MUST add a route for www and use https://www.yourdomain.com/ in SDT and HH's settings when inputting the domain there, this is what's expected for backend stuff.

  • You can add as many other fun ones as you'd like, and you can use the URL you prefer when sharing with others.

• Open SuperDodoTerminal ()

• Open SDT General Settings () from the main control panel

• Turn Use stable domain tunnel (named tunnel token) ON

• Stable Public URL = your full https://… (must match the Public Hostname in Cloudflare)

• Named Tunnel Token = paste the token from Cloudflare

• Turn Auto-start selected tunnel mode when SDT open ON

• Save
• Start Tunnel
• Use Copy URL when you need the link
• Visit your URL in any browser, you should see a 505 error page now. Time to generate your website!
