I have Cloudflare Access Tunnels in front of my Appwrite instance. When creating a CNAME in Cloudflare for my custom domain, if I don't enable Proxy, CF doesn't actually pass the traffic along at all. But if I do enable it, Appwrite won't verify the domain. I've been able to get around this by disabling Proxy for a couple of seconds whenever I want to add a domain, but this is not optimal.
I would expect Appwrite to actually just check if the domain I've entered points to Appwrite - try making a HTTP request to an expected endpoint or something.
Summary
The user is experiencing issues with setting up a custom domain for their Appwrite instance. They are using Cloudflare, but when they create a CNAME in Cloudflare, it either doesn't pass traffic or Appwrite doesn't verify the domain. The user has found a temporary solution by disabling Cloudflare's proxy for a few seconds when adding a domain, but this is not ideal. They suggest that Appwrite should check if the domain points to Appwrite by making an HTTP request to an expected endpoint.
