Simplify Domain and SSL Certificate Management with a Unified Platform

Pain Points

Domain names are scattered across multiple platforms, making management complex and lacking a unified view.

HTTPS sites are distributed, updates are easily missed, expirations go unnoticed, leading to high risk of service interruption.

Expiration notification mechanisms are incomplete; emails are ignored and real‑time alerts are missing.

Solution

To address these issues, a powerful and easy‑to‑use Domain and Certificate Unified Management Platform was built, offering the following capabilities:

Multi‑platform domain management with a single, clear view.

Automatic synchronization of domains and DNS from Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud; manual entry for other platforms.

SSL certificate management: upload certificates for centralized storage, and integrate Let’s Encrypt to obtain free SSL certificates in one minute.

HTTP site certificate monitoring to prevent service interruptions, with support for custom domain‑to‑IP and HTTPS port mapping.

Multi‑channel notification mechanisms (email, DingTalk, WeChat Work, Feishu) ensuring alerts reach the right people.

Integrated scheduled tasks for continuous, 24/7 monitoring.

Deployment Guide (IDSphere Platform)

Requirements: a 2‑CPU, 4 GB RAM Linux server with Docker and Docker Compose installed.

Clone the project: git clone https://github.com/yuyan075500/idsphere (global) or git clone https://gitee.com/yybluestorm/idsphere (China Mainland)

Enter the deployment directory: cd idsphere/deploy/docker-compose Modify environment variables in the .env file if needed (Redis, MySQL, MinIO configurations and image versions can usually remain default).

Edit the configuration file conf/config.yaml: oss.endpoint: Object storage API endpoint (must be reachable from a browser). oss.accessKey and oss.secretKey: Credentials created in the object‑storage console. oss.ssl: Set to true if the endpoint uses HTTPS, otherwise false.

Create the MinIO data directory:

mkdir -p data/minio

chown -R 1001:1001 data/minio

Deploy the services: docker-compose up -d System login: after deployment a super‑user is created automatically (username: admin, password: admin@123...).
