I am trying to use Appwrite in a self-hosted environment and am having difficulty adding a custom domain. Steps taken: Project > Settings > Custom Domains > Add Domain. I checked the DNS records via dnschecker.org, and the information has propagated. However, I get a "Verification failed" error. When I click "Retry," the popup closes and a notification appears stating "CUSTOM.DOMAIN.com has been verified," but the interface still shows "Verification failed."

My network architecture: MY VPS ==> Nginx Proxy Manager ==> Appwrite

I use this tutorial: https://medium.com/@stnguyen90/how-to-run-appwrite-behind-nginx-19348ed34243, but not resolve my problem.

TL;DR
Developers having trouble adding a custom domain in a self-hosted Appwrite environment. Tried adding domain in Project Settings, but keep getting "Verification failed" error despite DNS records being correct. Followed a tutorial but issue persists. Solution: Double-check DNS records and try clearing browser cache. Ensure Nginx Proxy Manager configuration is correct. If issue persists, try reaching out to Appwrite support for further assistance.
