Service Details:

  • Project: talented-kindness
  • Environment: production
  • Service: srikanth.work
  • Service ID: ba5ca12f-ddf4-4be8-b0d0-3194adcd0ed0
  • Repo: kirankls/srikanth.work (main branch)
  • Deployment ID: 4f6131ed-a122-4e2b-a21c-998f75ee42be

DNS Setup (Verified Working):

  • Domain registrar: GoDaddy
  • CNAME record: www.srikanth.worksrikanthwork-production.up.railway.app
  • DNS checker (dnschecker.org) confirms CNAME resolves correctly globally
  • Railway domain srikanthwork-production.up.railway.app works perfectly on all devices/networks

Troubleshooting Steps Completed:

  1. ✓ DNS CNAME record created and verified globally
  2. ✓ Custom domain added to service domains in Railway UI
  3. ✓ Service deployed multiple times
  4. ✓ Tested on iPhone (Wi-Fi and cellular), different networks
  5. ✓ Verified service is running and responding to requests
  6. ✓ HTTP logs show zero requests to www.srikanth.work reaching the service
  7. ✓ Confirmed srikanthwork-production.up.railway.app works on all networks

The Bug:

  • Custom domain www.srikanth.work is added to service config
  • After deployment, it disappears from the config
  • Only Railway domains remain (srikanthwork-production.up.railway.app, srikanthwork-production-2fda.up.railway.app)
  • Requests to www.srikanth.work never reach the service (no HTTP logs)
  • This happens consistently across multiple deployment attempts

Current Status:

  • Railway domain works: ✓
  • Custom domain DNS resolves: ✓
  • Custom domain reaches service: ✗ (disappears from config)

Hey, you should not be pointing your domain to Railway's public domain "srikanthwork-production.up.railway.app". Instead, follow this guide on how to add a custom domain: https://docs.railway.com/networking/domains/working-with-domains#custom-domains.
