But, after doing so, I encountered issues with invalid SSL certificates from Cloudflare, which made my app unusable. The worst part was that these errors were unpredictable.
I discovered the solution was to adjust Cloudflare’s SSL setting to just “Full” instead of “Full (Strict)” to ensure custom domains work correctly with Cloudflare.
Thank you so much for sharing this post. I’ve been scratching my head wondering why my app won’t launch! This was VERY helpful! Question for you - what are your thoughts on adding your anvil app in the CNAME? Like for example myappname.anvil.app? I read some folks talk about that and tried it - and failed. Is there a way to get the documents updated? I feel like some of these documents are a little outdated.
[on cloudflare]
1.) add A record for @ pointing to 52.56.203.177
2.) add A record for www pointing to 52.56.203.177
3.) adjust SSL to “Full”
4.) add custom domain name to anvil
works almost instantly. Thanks for this! Seems like their docs may be wrong or outdated
