how to setup custom domain

[burnt star]

I'm trying to setup a domain for sendgrid email verification. When I add the domain I get an error that
Unreachable cname target (localhost). Please check app domain target

[high onyx]

Is this Cloud or Self-hosted?

[burnt star]

Self hosted

[high onyx]

And you want to send emails via Sendgrid from your Appwrite Console domain?

[burnt star]

Yes

I have purchased the domain and I want to link it

[high onyx]

Does going to the domain currently shows your Appwrite Console?

[burnt star]

Yes. I have already redirected the ip to the domain

[high onyx]

And you're trying to follow this?

Would you be OK with sharing your domain so that I can see it's DNS records?

[burnt star]

app.mujunifx.com

The big issue is adding custom domain to generate a proper recovery url

[high onyx]

So it seems that domain redirects to another IP address which actually hosts your Console?

[foggy quest]

first, I will suggest you add the domain name to the Appwrite platforms

secondly, you will need to update your DNS Zone in your Cpanel or WHM, add or update the Records, CName or txt etc

[burnt star]

Yeap

[burnt star]

Adding domain is the issue. Im getting error

[burnt star]

Do I have to change anything in the .env file

[high onyx]

So this isn't an Appwrite issue, then

[burnt star]

The issue is adding domain in the custom domain section

[high onyx]

Oh, so this is when you add the domain in Appwrite? Not when you add the domain to Sendgrid?

[burnt star]

Yes

[high onyx]

So if I understand correctly, you want to access your Appwrite Console by going to https://app.mujunifx.com, instead of going to the IP address you currently access it with?

[burnt star]

Something like that

So that I can create a recovery url as app.mujunifx.com/recovery/

In order to properly set applinks, because applinks can't work with the ip

This is the error am getting

[foggy quest]

okay...
i have this issues before, and i resolved it,

are you building an App?
if yes
what platform are you using to build with appwrite
flutter or react-native?

[foggy quest]

you can add it in this place,
like i said before, you need to add it to your appwrite platform

[burnt star]

Yes a flutter app

[foggy quest]

okay i build with flutter also

[burnt star]

Yes

[foggy quest]

this is what you need to do, go to your dashboard, and add one more platform to your integration

just as you added your Andorid Platform and Ios Platform

so add another platform for web

in the place of hostname, add your domain name
JUST YOUR DOMAIN NAME

[burnt star]

Yes yes am on it

[foggy quest]

if this is what you are aiming at then you should add the sub domain like as you have done here app.mujunifx.com

[burnt star]

Done

[foggy quest]

good boy😂 😂

[burnt star]

What's next

[foggy quest]

https://docs.flutter.dev/ui/navigation/deep-linking
set up your andorid and ios for deeplink

by the way i used uni_link package for my project

you are welcome

[burnt star]

So no need for custom domain right.??

[foggy quest]

no need for that

have not even used custom domain in any of my project

maybe other users might disagree, well i speak from my level of usage of appwrite at this moment

[burnt star]

Thanks brother. Lemme get into smtp right now

🤜🤛

[high onyx]

I see. So Custom Domains are to allow you to call the Appwrite API using a different domain name - this is sometimes necessary because of Same-site cookies.

[burnt star]

Oh okay
