I am trying to add a custom domain to my canister i followed everything here : Internet Computer Loading

After running this code with my own domain - i get the error message below:

curl -sLv -X POST
-H ‘Content-Type: application/json’
https://icp0.io/registrations
–data @- <<EOF
{
“name”: “myowndomain.com”
}
EOF

Error message: domain is missing from canister 5osq2-id-aaaap-abbwq-cai list of known domains%

What am I missing here? also, this file .ic-assets.json5 keeps being created in the dist folder everytime that i build and deploy - please help.

Yes, the URL is accurate - should it be the. full URL , for example: www.example.com or just example.com ?

Also, can you explain a bit more? what do you mean the accessibility? what i provided here is only an example.

It looks like the canister ID (5osq2-id-aaaap-abbwq-cai) that you provided is not a valid canister ID. Are you sure you put the right canister ID in the TXT record of _canister-id.myowndomain.com?

Here i have attached what i have - hope you don’t mind i hide the full ID - the ID that i listed in the comment is not correct - but i have the correct one added in the registrar.

Hi @bblist

Thanks a lot for providing a bit more details. Your configuration looks good. The problem is with the ic-domains file that you need to host under your-canister.icp0.io/.well-known/ic-domains.

As part of the registration process, the boundary checks that your custom domain appears under this path. You can try it yourself by issuing the following command from the terminal:

curl -A "googlebot" https://<your_canister_id>.icp0.io/.well-known/ic-domains

The response should look like similar to this:

mydomain.com
www.mydomain.com

I hope that helps :slight_smile:

this command returns an html snippet

    (function () {

      _paq.push(["setTrackerUrl", u + "matomo.php"]);

Hi @marvin,

just to make sure:

  • You have a file under .well-known/ called ic-domains, which contains your domains;
  • You have a file called .ic-assets.json at the root of your canister with at least the following content:
    [
    {
        "match": ".well-known",
        "ignore": false
    }
]

If that’s case, please share your canister-id/custom domain with us (also over DM), such that we can investigate.

Hi, double check that you have in your ic-domains file both domains:

for example:
