Show HN: Project Pending, free domain parking service I made for future projects
- andris9 6y agoAuthor of ProjectPending here. I started this project after setting up another domain I had registered and was not happy about the process of setting it up the Nth time to show a simple landing page. Doing all the configuration was fun the first time but not after that. So to fix I built an automated service that handles everything itself. To pull this service off I had to do some web stack wrangling. It's basically a Node.js monolith app that handles everything: * serves it's admin website, for what I used Hapi framework * runs a custom DNS server, based on node-dns2 module, records are stored in DB as global key-value pairs instead of zones * LE certificate provisioning using DNS protocol, based on ACME.js, certs are stored to DB * HTTPS server that fetches certs from DB on SNI handshake * email server integration with WildDuck (another of my projects) to configure email accounts and to accept, store and forward emails
