I am trying to follow the instruction with the example and it works fine using the command: pa website create --domain YOURUSERNAME.pythonanywhere.com --command '/home/YOURUSERNAME/.virtualenvs/my_venv/bin/gunicorn --worker-class eventlet -w 1 --chdir /home/YOURUSERNAME/Flask-SocketIO/example --bind unix:${DOMAIN_SOCKET} app:app'

pa website get shows me the app with the domain name

But as I have an EU account it didnt work so I tried the same but using YOURUSERNAME.eu.pythonanywhere.com didn´t create the website. It showed the message < All done! Your site ...> but using pa website get showed me no domains active.

Am I doing something wrong?

I see an ASGI web app deployed on your IamArctic account. What is your EU account?

My mistake it does work, I just needed to change some stuff on my side. Another question: Can I have custom domains for the ASGI server?

Yes, you can, but HTTPS support for custom domains is not quite ready -- you can't set it up with the pa website command, you have to use an API directly. If that's something you'd be comfortable doing, let us know and we can suggest the kind of code you'd need, but if you'd rather wait for the pa command to support it, it should be available within couple of weeks.

I´d be interested in that

If it's the API code that you're interested in, here's an example. If your website is at www.yourdomain.com, and with your username IamArctic, you'd do something like this:

import requests
username = 'IamArctic'
domain_name = 'www.yourdomain.com'
token = 'YOUR_API_TOKEN'

response = requests.post(
    f'https://www.pythonanywhere.com/api/v1/user/{username}/domains/{domain_name}/ssl/',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Token {token}'.format(token=token)},
    data={"cert_type": "letsencrypt-auto-renew"},
)
if response.status_code == 200:
    print(response.content)
else:
    print('Got unexpected status code {}: {!r}'.format(response.status_code, response.content))

If it's the pa command that you'd like to be notified about, just let us know!

Thanks I´ll try it out!

Hey, I just tried it out and got the error back: Got unexpected status code 404: b'{"detail":"Not found."}' What exactly was not found?

Does your app work at all?

Well after the maintenance not anymore, I´ll get back when its running

We will investigate.

Could you explain like im 5. I´ve bought a domain on godaddy, lets say its "www.abc.com"

Now I am making the post request with this domain name. What should be the response? I was expecting something like webapp-XXXX.pythonanywhere.com that I can then put at CNAME. I always get Got unexpected status code 404: b'{"detail":"Not found."}'. Should I already have changed something on godaddy?

What do you see if you run the pa website get command? That error message is telling you that you're trying to create a certificate for a non-existant website.

I get my USERNAME.pythonanywhere.com domain. Using this domain in the request I get Got unexpected status code 400: b'Not allowed for pythonanywhere subdomains'

If you want to host a site on a custom domain, you need to provide the domain name when you create it. Using the example from your first post:

pa website create --domain YOURUSERNAME.pythonanywhere.com --command '/home/YOURUSERNAME/.virtualenvs/my_venv/bin/gunicorn --worker-class eventlet -w 1 --chdir /home/YOURUSERNAME/Flask-SocketIO/example --bind unix:${DOMAIN_SOCKET} app:app'

...the YOURUSERNAME.pythonanywhere.com would need to be replaced with the domain name of the site you're trying to create, for example www.yourdomain.com.

Ahhhh... That makes sense. And then I need to set the CNAME to something like webapp-XXXX.pythonanywhere.com - where do I get this? Is XXXX just my name?

For now, you can just set it to webapp--123.pythonanywhere.com -- that will work as a temporary measure. We'll let you know if/when that changes.
