I have a machine with Static Public IP. I want to host Appwrite Site on it but I tried it but it doesn't allow IP addresses in Domain names. What should I do host my site on my machine using Appwrite Sites.

TL;DR
The issue is related to hosting with a static IP without using domain names. A solution suggested is to set up a reverse proxy in front of Appwrite so that requests to a specific domain resolve to your static IP and can be directed to the right site within Appwrite. This is necessary as Appwrite needs domains to differentiate requests for multiple sites.

You should use a domain.

But I would become like http://site.10.10.15.234 I think would don't work as It gets mix

appwrite sites, needs domains (or via Host header)

so you basicly need to have a reverse proxy in front of appwrite (or have only appwrite behind the IP), that when you request domain.com it points to your static IP and resolve to appwrite. Appwrite will see the domain and sends it to the right site with the domain linked.

without a domain, appwrite have no way of saying which request should go to which site since you can have multiple of them
