Create an instance

Instances are typically created automatically when you create a reseller. This page covers manual instance creation and re-provisioning.

Manual creation​

  1. Go to GodMode → Instances → + New instance.
  2. Select the reseller this instance belongs to.
  3. Choose the subdomain or enter a custom domain.
  4. Assign a license key. An instance without a valid license will not activate.
  5. Select the Docker image tag to deploy (defaults to latest-stable).
  6. Click Provision instance.

Provisioning runs asynchronously via the background job queue. Monitor progress on the instance detail page.

Custom domain setup​

If using a custom domain instead of a subdomain:

  1. The reseller points their DNS A record to the BrandForge server IP.
  2. Enter the domain in the instance configuration.
  3. GodMode issues a TLS certificate via Let's Encrypt automatically.

Allow up to 5 minutes for certificate issuance.
