Publishing a Public Instance

While you're free to do as you please on private self-hosted instances, if you intend to deploy a public instance of Domain Locker, there are some etiquette guidelines that we'd appreciate you try and follow.

Do

  • ✅ Fork the repo (instead of copying it, or using our repo directly)
  • ✅ Keep the original MIT license, and credit the original authors
  • ✅ Take responsibility for securing your instance and protecting user data
  • ✅ Make it clear to your users that your version is an independent fork and not affiliated with the original project
  • ✅ Consider contributing back improvements, fixes, or features that could benefit the upstream project
  • ✅ Have fun, and use Domain Locker for something cool!

Don't

  • ❌ Don't charge for your service if you have deployed the code as-is (aka without substantial changes)
  • ❌ Don't use our hosted APIs (they may be subject to change, rate limiting and auth)- run your own
  • ❌ Don't expect unpaid support from the original authors for your own instance
  • ❌ Don't misrepresent your fork as the official Domain Locker—your branding and domain should reflect that it's an independent instance
  • ❌ Don't modify and redistribute under a more restrictive license—the MIT license ensures continued freedom to modify and share
  • ❌ Don't use any of Domain Locker's code for illegal or unethical purposes
  • ❌ And, pretty please - don't sue us

Hey there! 👋

I hope you're finding Domain Locker useful. If you'd like to support my work, consider becoming a sponsor on GitHub Sponsors. Every contribution however small is greatly appreciated and helps me keep these tools running and open source.
Either way, thanks for being here—you're awesome! 🚀
