Rank 2: Process
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:
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?
Summary
Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) already generates certificates, no need to do it separately. Custom domains are necessary if setting authentication cookies for apps. Make sure NPM proxies to the app via HTTPS and not HTTP. Custom domains are essential when using Appwrite's Traefik as a proxy. If encountering oauth2 issues in Appwrite due to domain verification failure, ensure the domain is correctly verified for oauth2 functionality.
