Appwrite Local Instance

[harsh linden]

When I want to retrieve the country of each user, Appwrite's Local instance always returns an object with its data as Country "Poland".

[rustic helm]

Do you have some reverse proxy in front of Appwrite?

[harsh linden]

Nope

[glad knoll]

What you mean local instance
You're accessing it through http://localhost?

[harsh linden]

nope, real domain name

[glad knoll]

But what you mean by local?

Do you use cloudflare for your DNS?

[rustic helm]

And what exactly are you doing (what's your code)?

[harsh linden]

No

[glad knoll]

👆 ?

[harsh linden]

This Local instance

[glad knoll]

• Is the instance endpoint in a remote server or in your computer?
• Are users come from all around, as it live, or you in testing period?

[glad knoll]

Got you,
It was the locale object, my miss understanding.

[harsh linden]

It's on a remote server and I'm currently testing it but not in Poland.

[glad knoll]

So how did you check what other users gets?

Only you?

When you go to this website

https://whatismyipaddress.com/

What country you're getting?

[harsh linden]

Yes only me

[harsh linden]

My country "Cameroon"

[glad knoll]

When you go to this URL
https://your-domain.com/v1/locale/
What do you get?

And in here at Appwrite cloud
https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/locale

[harsh linden]

{"ip":"85.31.237.177","countryCode":"PL","country":"Poland","continentCode":"EU","continent":"Europe","eu":true,"currency":"PLN"} 😅 why?

[glad knoll]

Also in the Appwrite cloud one?

[rustic helm]

That IP address is hostinger...what's the relation of that and your Appwrite?

[glad knoll]

Maybe it's how hostinger proxies the requests to Appwrite

[harsh linden]

{"ip":"154.72.171.250","countryCode":"CM","country":"Cameroon","continentCode":"AF","continent":"Africa","eu":false,"currency":""}

[glad knoll]

Where are you hosting your Appwrite instance?

Do you have any other Apps on that server?

What version of Appwrite you're using?

[harsh linden]

I bought a VPS from Hostinger a few days ago and that's where I installed Appwrite.

[harsh linden]

Hostinger VPS

[harsh linden]

Nope, only CloudPanel

[glad knoll]

So maybe they have some an auto reverse-proxy

That route your requests from poland

[harsh linden]

Appwrite 1.4.9

[harsh linden]

Yes To point it at a domain name

[glad knoll]

It's worth checking it out
For now I would recommend checking one of these 3 that report to work very good with Appwrite

• Linode
• Digital Ocean
• Hetzner (the cheapest)

[harsh linden]

Okay Thanks

[glad knoll]

And sure
You also have Appwrite Cloud

[harsh linden]

When a use only ip address all works {"ip":"154.72.171.250","countryCode":"CM","country":"Cameroon","continentCode":"AF","continent":"Africa","eu":false,"currency":""}

[glad knoll]

Yes, makes sense

[rustic helm]

maybe you have some setting in your DNS for (enable proxy)

[glad knoll]

Probably their DNS somehow reversing the proxy

[rustic helm]

cloudflare does this

[glad knoll]

What you can do is to manage the DNS by your own and just point some A record to your server IP

[harsh linden]

Can he have a mini-documentation for this? 😅

[glad knoll]

Where is your domain hosted?

[glad knoll]

You can check this list

In that solution you're using CNAME because you're pointing it to an existing domain name

In your case you'll need to add A record as you're pointing to an IP address

[harsh linden]

Hostinger

[glad knoll]

Also the domain?

[harsh linden]

Yes

[glad knoll]

And you've added A record that points to your server IP?

[harsh linden]

Give me a few minutes to do it.

[glad knoll]

Okay

But how is your domain was pointing to your server till now?

[harsh linden]

This was already the case

[glad knoll]

I went through Hostinger documentation and haven't find anything about proxy
I'll suggest you'll contact them
