So, I have added the NS records on my domain, and they look propagated, but my domain is not working. Do I need to do anything else, add any records from within Digital Ocean, like a CNAME or something, or everything should be already set?

Hey there,

After setting the NS records, you still need to add the domain inside your App Platform project and configure it there. DNS changes can also take up to 72 hours to fully propagate.

You can follow the full guide here: 👉 https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/manage-domains/

After doing that you don’t need to manually add any DNS records.

Hope that helps!
