An API turns an IP address into a stable, HTTPS-ready hostname for servers, agents, devices, and short-lived environments.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The documented workflow begins with a bearer-authenticated POST containing an IP address and returns a generated hostname plus a live-status field. The page gives q7k4m2.pool-3.mintzone.net as an example and distinguishes ordinary certificate issuance through Caddy or certbot from DNS-01 handling for private IPs and wildcards. It also describes lifecycle use cases such as one hostname per pull request or agent-rented VM, with names retiring when renewal stops.
