Did custom domains break today? Multiple projects of mine work with the ___.glitch.me URL but not with the custom URL I have configured.

Eg, uvi.glitch.me works but not changelog.beeminder.com which is the custom domain I have associated with my “uvi” project.

Both domains return with a 502 error. (sometimes)

Once the .glitch.me domain returned with a 502 error.

Very odd, I can confirm I am getting a 500 on the custom domain. Can you reach out to [email protected]?

I’ve been emailing with [email protected] – they haven’t figured it out yet.
It fixed itself for about 24 hours but is down again now. :sob:

I’m sure it’s a problem on Glitch’s side, not with my domain registrar or nameservers or whatever, because every Glitch app of mine with a custom domain is returning a 502 error despite having different nameservers (and other apps with those nameservers that aren’t hosted on Glitch are fine).

Hello!

Thanks so much for sending us a support request about this too!

This week, we have received reports from folks who say that the custom domains they have connnected to their Glitch projects have suddenly stopped working.

Earlier this month, this began happening when a custom domain was being connected via Cloudflare. However, it appears that something similar is happening for others as well.

A bug report has been filed and escalated. As soon as I get an update about this, I will let you know!

Update: It appears that our requests to the fly API are hanging indefinitely. We have notified fly.io and are awaiting their response.

while we’re in the thread a question about custom domains, is it possible to link directly to the glitch app, use the .glitch.me app if you’ve set up custom domains. I modified my already using fly.io config to use .glitch.me for my xkcd-printer project (https://xkcd-print.ascent.tk) and either it works or my network uses too much dns caching. However when I added openradio it didn’t work probaly because fly.io broke at that momment

I apologise for kinda bumping this but, after removing the domain (by emailing support), and I try to re-add the domain, it shows an unknown error occurred. Then, I reloaded the page and this time, it shows the domain is already connected. I need help ASAP. Without my domain, the website is nothing. Moreover, since the glitch support team is prolly sleeping so, idk what to do. Please help me :frowning:

My domains are still destroyed from the last one

also not working for me. well. guess we have to wait.

Oy, yes, custom domains are broken again. :sob:

Odd, it looked like a temporary solution was made:

You could Use ngrok to get a domain then use Cloudflare’s API to change the CNAME record when the app restarts.

I should make a library/cli app for that.

ngrok is on the slow side I think for web apps so it’ll work for low performance apps, but apps involving video uploading or large file uploading or games might not want to use this approach(my friend complained of lots of TPS lag when playing minecraft using ngrok)

When will this be solved?! :persevere:

depends on how fast communication between fly.io and the glitch team is. They could be getting replies every hour or every 6 hours or even every day due to timezones.

My domains (carcraftz.dev and niny.io) seem to be working so I assumed the issue was fixed.

It seems the fly team made some sort of temporary fix, however, it may not have impacted all custom domains or all servers.

Hello,

Custom domains are working again.

As @RiversideRocks stated, fly has made a temporary fix. We will be discussing a longterm solution with them this week.
