My *. subdomain is stuck in "Issuing TLS Certificate"

I see this has been reported before and I am now seeing it for my app. I have had several hours of outage today and it is not resolving itself. The app has been running fine on this subdomain for months and today it started issuing a new certificate and is stuck.

I have tried deleting the custom domain and re-creating it as I saw suggested in another thread.

Please advise!

If anything this is evidence there is a problem to fix. I don't have a unique issue here

Hey there! Are you currently using CF for your DNS?

No, I use Porkbun as my DNS and I use the default Railway settings for TLS provisioning

Good to know. Can I get a screenshot of your porkbun setup? Would love to see how its configured!

Yes here it is, is this going to get you closer to fix the several hour app downtime caused by the TLS issue?

Understand the frustration but I'm trying to gather any information that I'm able to on this.
Unsure if it will be an extremely simple fix but I'll see what I find

If you're able to get a screenshot of the custom domain section too that would be very useful.

Hi there,

I checked the wildcard record, and it appears that the DNS has not propagated as expected for your wildcard domain. For instance, since you have set up *.chaosroots.com as a CNAME record, querying a random subdomain like test.chaosroots.com should reveal the specific CNAME record.

  ~ dig test.chaosroots.com

Could you please try removing the current CNAME record and re-setting it on the Porkbun dashboard? Ideally, the DNS record should point to the Railway server so we can generate the TLS certificate for you.

If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to Porkbun support to ask about any possible delays in DNS propagation.

I look forward to hearing back from you.
