Hi,
I've set up Codeberg Pages with a custom domain, but the SSL certificate for my custom domain has not been issued after more than 24 hours. The default jkfrank.codeberg.page URL works fine.
My setup:

Repository: https://codeberg.org/jkfrank/jkfrank-blog
Deployed branch: pages (built via Forgejo Actions, pushed with git push --force)
.domains file in pages branch root containing: jkfrank.dk

DNS records on jkfrank.dk:

A → 217.197.91.145
ALIAS → codeberg.page
TXT → pages.jkfrank.codeberg.page

DNS propagation is confirmed globally via dnschecker.org. All records resolve correctly.
Symptom:
SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

HTTP redirects correctly to HTTPS, but TLS handshake fails.
I tried the webhook trigger from issue #2655:
bash

curl -X POST https://codeberg.page \
 -H 'Host: jkfrank.dk' \
 -H 'X-Forgejo-Event: push' \
 --json '{"ref":"refs/heads/pages","repository":{"clone_url":"https://codeberg.org/jkfrank/jkfrank-blog.git"}}'

Response: clone URL not in allowlist [https://codeberg.org/jkfrank/pages.git]

This suggests git-pages only allows a repo named pages — is that correct for custom domain SSL? Is there something specific about project repos (vs. a pages-named repo) that prevents certificate issuance?
Any guidance appreciated. Thank you!

Hello. I have the same kind of issue. I am not very familiar with GIT and webhooks, which make things hard for me.

My domain is chtixof.fr.eu.org

I set up the DNS at Cloudflare, with DNS Only.

DNS Lookup: https://dnschecker.org/all-dns-records-of-domain.php?query=chtixof.fr.eu.org&rtype=ALL&dns=google

The repo is https://codeberg.org/chtixof/pages. I added a .domains file and a _redirect file. There is no specific CICD. I just want to publish the files that I commit.

I added a Forgejo webhook targeting https://chtixof.fr.eu.org

When I test it with the bottom right button, I get: Delivery: Post "https://chtixof.fr.eu.org": remote error: tls: internal error

And still ,on the browser debug network tab, I get : (failed)net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

And the SSL analyze https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=chtixof.fr.eu.org tells No certificates found for both IP V4 and IP V6.

Thanks in advance for your help.
