I found the place (Domain Portfolio) on Godaddy's site to enter the CNAME record but it's not clear what I must enter there.

I tried some things but the get rejected.

I 've chatted with a GoDaddy dude about it and they don't know much... they are saying I need to take it up with Railway.

I choose Type: CNAME and then it wants me to enter a Name and Value.

Apparently there are some heavy rules on what I can put into the Name or Value fields.

I would have thought that the Value would just be the CNAME given by Railway.

But then... what to put for Name?

I tried a single @ but it does not like that.

I was not wanting any sub-domain at this time for dbme.app.

Does anyone here have experience setting DNS from GoDaddy to point to railway?

GoDaddy doesn't support CNAME flattening that we rely on. Refer to https://docs.railway.app/guides/public-networking#redirecting-a-root-domain-workarounds

Ok, I was finally able to get the GoDaddy interface to accept @ as the Name.

All should be good now.

Thanks.

ah... I was wrong... it did not take.

Ok, I will try the workarounds you have suggested.

Thanks for the help.

Hello @rc, I used the info at the link you gave to leverage cloudfare.

Cloudfare shows my domain (dbme.app) as "active" and Railway says "Cloudfare proxy detected" but when I go to dbme.app the response I get is

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Do you know what else I may be missing?

The login page of my app comes up fine when I use the Railway-provided "direct" URL to my app.

Thanks for any (more) help you can offer.

Make sure you have your SSL/TLS mode set to "Full"

ooooh.... that did it.

It works now!

Thanks!!
