The domain settings seem somewhat limited right now, and I guess it will evolve. But is there any way to get wildcard subdomains working at this point?

×Hi engborg,
At the moment we don’t support wildcard subdomains. I’ve taken note of this as a feature request.
Best,
Moises
Ok, that’s the one thing that’s stopping me from using App platform, so I would really wish for this to implemented.
Thanks for your reply.
I could also greatly benefit from wildcard subdomains (to offer the users of my app custom domains)
Yes, we now support custom wildcard domain.
You must add the domain before you can use the wildcard. For example, if you want to add *.example.com, example.com must be added to your app first.
How do I do this? I have tried adding an A Record with the hostname of * but this hasn’t worked. Am I missing something here?
With this configuration also not working
A => example.com
A => *.example.com
CNAME => * ( Not Allowed )
How’s your configuration @meskinazi ?
Wildcard CNAMEs are supported. When creating the record ensure the “Hostname” (other providers may call this “Record Name”) field is set to “*”. The “Is an Alias Of” (other providers may call this “Target”, or “Value”) should be set to your App’s full “ondigitalocean.app” name.
The example posted above looks like the fields may be backwards.
Question
I sit now with same issue .. have a project that uses subdomain request to route to a ‘tenant’ in postgres shared database but specific schema … is this possible in DO Droplet/Nginx?
