Before you deploy, collect the accounts and credentials listed below. Required items are the minimum to get the site live. Optional services unlock specific features and can be configured after initial setup.
GitHub repository invite required. Domainer Engine is distributed through a private GitHub repository. To deploy — whether on Vercel or Docker — you need access to it. After purchase, I send you an invite to your GitHub account. If you haven’t received it or it has expired, contact me and I’ll send a new one.

Services overview

Required services

Vercel or Docker

You need one hosting environment:
  • Vercel — sign up at vercel.com. The free Hobby plan is sufficient for most portfolios.
  • Docker — install Docker Engine and Docker Compose on your server. See docs.docker.com/get-docker for installation instructions.

Domain name

Your marketplace needs a domain name pointing to your deployment. You likely already own one — point it to Vercel or your server after deploying.

Optional services

Cloudflare R2 — image storage

R2 is the only officially supported image storage provider. Without it, the site works fully but you cannot upload images (domain logos, background images, blog post images, or your site logo).

Resend — email notifications

Resend sends transactional emails when inquiries, offers, and other events occur.
  • Sign up at resend.com
  • A free tier is available — check current limits at resend.com/pricing
  • You’ll need to verify your sending domain in the Resend dashboard before emails will deliver reliably

Telegram bot — instant alerts

Get push notifications directly in Telegram when a deal arrives. Setup takes about 2 minutes.
  • Open Telegram and start a conversation with @BotFather
  • Create a new bot — BotFather gives you a bot token
  • You do not need a Telegram business account

AI provider — content generation

AI writes domain descriptions, taglines, use cases, SEO metadata, and brand colors. Three providers are supported: All three offer free trial credits or a free tier. You only need one.

Brevo — newsletter and price tracking

Brevo powers two features: the newsletter sign-up form in the site footer, and buyer price-drop alert emails.
Pricing, free tier limits, and terms for third-party services change over time. The information above was accurate at the time of writing — verify current conditions directly on each provider’s website before committing to a plan.
You do not need to set up optional services before deploying. The Setup Wizard walks you through AI and email notifications on first launch — both can be skipped and configured later from the admin panel.
