[SOLVED] "Domain verification for the requested domain has failed." for a custom domain

my appwrite instance is hosted at "aw.<myhostname>.com", when I try to define my custom domain as "aw.<myhostname>.com" it fails with a PATCH request which returns a 401 and a json with "Domain verification for the requested domain has failed.", my enviroment variables for "_APP_DOMAIN" and "_APP_DOMAIN_TARGET" are the same, so I am really unsure what the problem could be, could anyone please help me?

How many domains do you need for Appwrite?

only one

thank you very much for your answer btw! I have been slamming my head against the wall for a bit over this problem

Then you don't need to create a custom domain.

I thought so but the reason I was doing this was to avoid a warning I get at the web console when my site interacts with appwrite

the warning being "Appwrite is using localStorage for session management. Increase your security by adding a custom domain as your API endpoint."

I am unsure what that means or how to make it go away

Maybe this will help: https://appwrite.io/docs/custom-domains

the docs suggest me to use a custom domain, should i use one or not?

yes, but please make sure to read all the information thoroughly

appwrite is hosted on the subdomain "aw.<myhostname>.com" and my app is hosted at "<myhostname>.com", is that not enough to make the error go away?

In this case, you shouldn't need a custom domain then

Some questions:

1. Do you have a reverse proxy in front of Appwrite?
2. Are you connecting to Appwrite using https?
3. Do you have a valid SSL certificate?

1. no
2. yes
3. yes

You shouldn't see the warning then 🧐

If it's any use, the site is hosted in digital ocean as a webapp, which does the SSL part oob, while appwrite is hosted on a droplet

Would you be able to DM me the URL for your app?

@骨头 does your issue solved

Yes, the issue was resolved. There was no custom domain needed since only 1 main domain was required.
