Technical notes as reference

When renaming the demo services as part of #1215 we hit the limit related to domain names.

The idea was to use https://dex-vergunningsoftware-bv.{{DOMAIN_SUFFIX}} instead of https://dex-vergunningsoftware-bv-{{DOMAIN_SUFFIX}}, because labels (parts of domain name separated by dots) may not exceed the length of 63 characters.

Source https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1034#page-11

While working on this, we tried to request a wildcard certificate from Let's Encrypt, which applied to .{{DOMAIN_SUFFIX}}. However, Let's Encrypt does not support issuing wildcard certificates with HTTP-01 challenges. To issue wildcard certificates, you must use the DNS-01 challenge. This is not straightforward to automate, and it would take too much time until the created DNS record would resolve.
