[solved] Internal server error when setting custom domain

[crude turret]

(This was built using the Linode marketplace instance automatically) I'm not going to use my actual domains for this, but I have the Appwrite panel set up at backend.example.xyz, which is the value for both the _APP_ENV and _APP_DOMAIN_TARGET environment variables, but when I try setting a custom domain for a web app to something like api.anotherdomain.me, I get an internal server error popup

What do the docker logs for the appwrite container say?

Did you apply the changes to your .env file by recreating the containers?

[crude turret]

wait does rebooting the linode not do that?

[mossy atlas]

Not necessarily

does docker compose up -d recreate the containers? sorry i'm not super familiar with docker
