[SOLVED] Appwrite Cloud for web - cookie setting issues - Threads

When using appwrite cloud with web- to get cookies set to work(due to origin issues), I had to:

You have to use custom domains.
You can’t point domain.com to appwrite cloud api - because I can’t create CNAME @- so, I had to create api.domain.com.
Then I had to set my web to web.api.domain.com. - to allow it to accept .api.domain.com. Cookies.

Is there an alternative solution?

TL;DR

The user experienced issues with cookie setting in Appwrite Cloud for web. The solution was to use custom domains and set the appwrite endpoint hostname as a subdomain of the app. For example, if the app runs on my-app.com, the user should use api.my-app.com for Appwrite. There is no alternative solution provided in the thread.

so the appwrite endpoint hostname needs to be a subdomain of your app. For example, if your app runs on my-app.com, you can use api.my-app.com for Appwrite.

For more info, see https://appwrite.io/docs/custom-domains

When I do that, following the docs, the cookies get set with a domain of .api.my-app.com. However the web browser at my-app.com wouldn’t use them and shows this when inspecting the cookies.
