Phala Cloud gives you automatic HTTPS endpoints for your containers. Deploy your service and get a secure public URL — no TLS or proxy configuration needed.

​
What You Get

Every container you deploy gets:
  • Public HTTPS endpoints that just work
  • Automatic TLS certificates (no Let’s Encrypt setup)
  • Full internet access with any protocol
  • Built-in load balancing
Your application URL looks like this: 
https://<app-id>-<port>.dstack-prod5.phala.network
Deploy on port 8080? Your URL is https://appid-8080.dstack-prod5.phala.network. Deploy on port 3000? It’s https://appid-3000.dstack-prod5.phala.network. Simple.

​
Zero Configuration Required

Just define your service in docker-compose.yml: 
services:
  web:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports:
      - "8000:80"
Deploy it and you’re done. No reverse proxy setup needed. No certificate management required. No firewall rules to configure.

​
Use Your Own Domain

Want api.mycompany.com instead of the default URL? Add the dstack-ingress container to your deployment. It handles DNS setup and SSL certificates automatically through your DNS provider (Cloudflare, Linode, or Namecheap).

​
Beyond HTTP

Phala Cloud handles more than just web services: Databases: Expose PostgreSQL or MySQL with automatic TLS encryption. Your database connections are secure by default. gRPC Services: Full HTTP/2 support. Access gRPC endpoints by appending g to your URL (e.g., appid-8080g.dstack-prod5.phala.network). TCP Services: Any TCP protocol works - Redis, custom game servers, message queues. All get automatic TLS wrapping. SSH Access: Debug your containers with SSH access (development mode only).
