Hello.
I want to connect my own domain which is in GoDaddy, the railway service is telling me that i need to add a CNAME record with @ as origin pointing to the railway service.
The problem here is that i am not allowed to add this type of origin ( @ ) because i already have that and CNAME must not be duplicated.
Could you please put me in the right direction to setup the DNS records correctly? can i add another type of record to connect with my app in railway?

GoDaddy does not support CNAMEs at the root, you would need to use Cloudflare's nameservers -

Great, now i can see the custom domain on the application service, but it is not resolving on spotly.la... may be is a record missing? or i need to delete the primary domain ( autogenerated by Railway) ?

Thanks, that worked.
But i cant make www.spotly.la works. i tried to add that domain too on railway but part of the application does not work.
So i tried to create a cname with www to spotly.la but is still resolving some error page on railway.
How should i configura that?

I had the same issue. I transfered the domaim from godaddy to hostinger and problem solved. Registered both mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com in a minute. If you do that, be careful while doing the transfer though. It's fairly easy, but can be denied for small details. Good luck.

Hostinger also does not support root level CNAMEs.
