Domain never verifies

[nolageek]

I added my domain to vercel just like you said in the docs.

Then you say to add a *.domain.name record - when I edit my DNS records there's already a * CNAME record that points to cname.vercel-dns.com that I cannot delete or edit (there's a lock icon)

I added a new * A record, but I dont think both will work correctly. Is this something new?

Either way, it's been about an hour since I tried to use the app, the database gets updated with my custom domain's DID and everything, but the DNS zone never verifies from within bluesky.

Vercel has account wide domain settings which allow you to control the DNS of a Vercel-managed domain and then separate per-project domain settings which assign a domain to a project. From your description of seeing a wildcard CNAME record it sounds like you're looking at the domain settings for your account rather than the project's domain settings.

1. Log in to your Vercel dashboard
2. Click on your project
3. Click the "domains" button at the top right (next to "Visit")
4. At the top of the page it will say "Project Settings" and "Domains"
5. Click "Add" and an "Add Domain" modal will open
6. Enter your domain in the form of *.example.com, e.g:

Vercel combines the process of adding a domain to your account and adding a domain to your project so in most cases people will only ever see the correct interface but if you added a domain to your Vercel account independent of your project you may end up seeing the other interface, which I think is what happened here :)

If you're still stuck after following the above steps, please include your domain in a follow up comment and I can check the DNS is configured correctly (using whatsmydns.net).
