Does it require Caddy or Nginx?
No. Locado has a built-in Go reverse proxy with SSL support. No external dependencies required.
Can I use multiple TLDs?
Yes! You can configure up to 10 different TLDs like .local, .test, .dev, or any custom TLD you prefer.
Does it work on Windows?
Yes. Locado supports Windows via Acrylic DNS Proxy. It also works on macOS (dnsmasq) and Linux (systemd-resolved).
How do I auto-start on boot?
Run 'locado service enable' to configure auto-start. Uses LaunchD on macOS and systemd on Linux.
How do I completely uninstall?
Run 'locado uninstall --purge' to remove all files, configurations, DNS settings, and certificates.
Is HTTPS really automatic?
Yes. Locado generates a self-signed CA and certificates automatically. Run 'locado cert trust' to add the CA to your system keychain.
Binary killed immediately after install (macOS)?
This is caused by macOS Gatekeeper quarantine. Run: sudo xattr -cr /usr/local/bin/locado
DNS setup from dashboard doesn't work?
DNS operations require root privileges. Run the install script in terminal: curl -fsSL https://locado.hxd.app/install.sh | bash
Certificate not trusted after install (macOS)?
The CA certificate may be missing SSL trust policy. Run: sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -p ssl -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain ~/.local/share/locado/certs/ca.crt
Error when opening app on macOS (App is damaged)?
Due to macOS Gatekeeper security mechanism. Please run the following command in Terminal: `sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Locado.app"`
