Hi, i deployed Appwrite with Coolify and reaching it with appw.appname.de. What is working so far. I wanted to add another custom Domain to activate email verification over a custom link www.appname.de/verify

Problem is the API is not accepting this link giving me the following error: Invalid url param: URL host must be one of: localhost, appw.appname.de"

Also: During the verification Appwrite is asking me to add the following CNAME entry: Name WWW Value localhost

"Localhost" can't be correct, right?

The domain is registered via strato.de which is not listed here: https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/platform/custom-domains I am not sure how to set up the DNS. Does anyone know?

TL;DR
Developers are having issues adding a custom domain to their self-hosted Appwrite. The API is not accepting the new link, giving an error related to the URL host. Appwrite is asking for a CNAME entry with a value of "localhost," which seems incorrect. The domain is registered via Strato.de, and the developer is unsure how to set up the DNS properly.
