Replit

you.runs-on.dev serving a Replit deployment, over HTTPS, via A and TXT records.

The record

domains/you.json

"records": {
  "A": ["192.0.2.1"],
  "TXT": ["replit-verify=abc123"]
}

Replit generates both values per domain connection, so 192.0.2.1 and replit-verify=abc123 above are stand-ins. Copy the exact values Replit's dashboard shows you. Manual DNS setup is the right path here, not the Entri auto-configure option, since that writes to a registrar's DNS panel directly and this registry has none.

A and TXT can coexist at the same name, which is exactly what Replit needs: the TXT record stays in place permanently, since Replit reuses it for certificate renewal.

Steps

  1. In Replit: your deployment → Publishing → Domains → Manual Setup → you.runs-on.dev. Note the A and TXT values it shows you.
  2. Fork the registry and edit domains/you.json to the record above, using those values.
  3. Open a pull request. Once merged, both records are synced to DNS automatically.

How to tell it worked

The Domains tab shows you.runs-on.dev as verified once Replit confirms both records. Visiting https://you.runs-on.dev should then serve the deployment.
