I successfully deployed a docker container to the APP platform of DO. The container contains a caddy server serving a static website. The app is accessible by the generated domain, but when I want to add a custom domain, it’s been stuck in “Configuring” for hours now. I’m starting to wonder whether this will ever be done, as I didn’t find any logs or anything about how long this might take! Also, would it pop up in the Networking part of the DO cloud once it’s finished?
The domain btw. is managed by Digital Ocean, the SOA is ns1.digitalocean.com..

Thank you for your answer. I’ve come back after the weekend, and the domain is still in “configuring”. I suspect there is a misconfiguration of the DNS setup.
The setup is as follows: assuming example.net, I have a subdomain dev.example.net which has NS entries pointing to the Digital Ocean Nameservers (ns*.digitalocean.com). So everything under dev.example.net is managed by DO (There are already various dropplets running there)
Now I’m trying to add project.dev.example.net in the App configuration which gets stuck in the configuring.
I also tried adding A and NS records to project.dev.example.net in the DO Networking configuration, but it didn’t work.
Same here…I can successfully add a custom domain sometimes, but other times it remains in “configuring” – what is going on here?!?
Same issue, anyone have tried to resolved the issue? It’s been more than 72 hrs on my end, and the status is still the same.
