Custom domain behind Nginx Proxy Manager - how generate certificate
Self-hosted Appwrite behing Nginx Proxy Manager. NPM takes care of certificates via DNS challenge. I want to add new Custom Domain but it is failing at the certificate generation step:
TypeScript
Failed to issue a certificate with message: Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator webroot, Installer None
Performing the following challenges:
http-01 challenge for domain.example.com
Using the webroot path /storage/certificates for all unmatched domains.
Waiting for verification...
Challenge failed for domain domain.example.com
http-01 challenge for domain.example.com
Cleaning up challenges
Some challenges have failed.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.
How to get pass this verification failure? Can I disable Appwrite from trying to gen certificate for the custom domain? Can I configure Appwrite to use DNS challenge?
TL;DR
Custom domain certificate generation is failing due to a verification issue. You can try using DNS challenge method instead of http-01 challenge. To disable Appwrite from trying to generate a certificate, configure it to use DNS challenge. This should resolve the verification failure.
