azure: fix lost customDomain binding when a service has multiple hostnames#2222defangdevs wants to merge 6 commits into
Conversation
…names addHostnameDisabled and bindHostnameSniEnabled each Get the ContainerApp, modify its CustomDomains array in memory, and PATCH the whole array back (ARM's JSON Merge Patch replaces arrays wholesale). runIssuerJobs processes every hostname on a service as a concurrent domainJob, so an apex domain and its www alias on the same ContainerApp race: whichever PATCH lands last, built from a Get that predates the other's write, silently drops the other's just-added binding. This is what took defang.io down on 2026-08-19 — the cert was issued and `defang cert gen` reported success, but the apex binding never stuck because www's concurrent PATCH clobbered it. Serialize both functions' Get-modify-PATCH sequence per (resourceGroup, appName) via a package-level lock map, so sibling hostnames on the same app can't interleave; hostnames on different apps stay fully parallel. Also split the DNS wait: hostname registration only needs the asuid TXT record (ownership proof), not the routing record, so it no longer blocks on both together. This lets a caller add just the TXT record ahead of a DNS cutover and have the hostname registered/verified in advance, rather than waiting until the routing record is flipped (and traffic already broken) to start any of this.

We should still print the required records at the start (not after TXT validation), because the user is likely already looking at their DNS dashboard. Perhaps add a hint (or ordering) that TXT is required/first. @defangdevs
Print the TXT + CNAME/A block once, before either wait starts, instead of only showing the routing record's instructions after TXT has already propagated. The user is looking at their DNS dashboard right when they run cert gen and wants to add everything in one sitting; the TXT line now notes it should go in first since hostname registration only needs that one.

Fixed in 3d90f4e — now prints all required records (TXT + CNAME/A) up front, before either wait starts, with a note that TXT goes in first since hostname registration only needs that one. So you get one DNS-dashboard sitting for everything, but registration still doesn't block on the routing record. Re CodeRabbit's |

You really only ever add one of these. In fact, sometimes you have no choice: when the domain is apex domain, you can either do an A record or an ALIAS (for the DNS hosts that allow it).
Can we compare this "table" with the one shown in the similar AWS and GCP flows? @defangdevs
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Correcting my last comment: ALIAS-at-apex working isn't an AWS/GCP platform thing — it depends on the user's own DNS host (registrar), which could be anyone. AWS/GCP's printGroupedCNAMEs targets (getDomainTargets, src/pkg/cli/cert.go:179) are always DNS names (LB DNS name or FQDN), never an IP, so their "CNAME or ALIAS" message doesn't actually solve the apex case deterministically either — it only works if the user's registrar happens to support ALIAS/ANAME for that target. Same RFC 1034 constraint, just left for the user's registrar to handle.
Azure Container Apps gives a real static IP for the environment, so an apex A record works on any DNS host, registrar-independent. That's the actual reason I couldn't reuse AWS/GCP's ambiguous phrasing here: it's not that Azure needs something extra, it's that Azure's apex path is more deterministic than AWS/GCP's, so we can (and should) print the one correct record instead of an "or" list. dns.IsApexDomain + the fix stand as-is; just correcting the framing above.
Only one of CNAME/A ever applies to a given hostname; printing both unconditionally implied the user had a choice, when apex domains can't take a CNAME (RFC 1034) and non-apex hostnames don't need an A record. Add dns.IsApexDomain, a static (DNS-lookup-free) check on the hostname via golang.org/x/net/publicsuffix, and use it to print the one relevant routing record in the DNS-instructions block.

Azure joined `defang cert generate` after the AWS/GCP flow settled on a two-phase shape, and never adopted it: every progress line printed bare, and each hostname printed its own "Configure DNS records for X:" block whenever its goroutine happened to reach that point, so a service with an apex plus a www alias produced two tables interleaved with unattributed status lines. Adopt the established shape instead of keeping two: - Split CertIssuer into PreflightCert (probe and report only) and IssueCert (do the work). runIssuerJobs now mirrors runACMEJobs: phase 1 pre-flights every domain in parallel and prints the union of the missing records as one aligned block, phase 2 runs the per-domain workers. - Thread the per-domain logger from runIssuerJobs into aca.IssueCert and its helpers, so every user-facing line carries the same [domain] prefix AWS/GCP emit. term.Debugf calls are untouched; a nil logger falls back to term.Infof for non-CLI callers. - In aca, factor the ContainerApp discovery into resolveCertTarget and the record computation into certTarget.pendingRecords, shared by both entry points. PreflightCert and IssueCert each resolve the target independently rather than threading ARM state through the provider-generic CLI flow; the cost is one extra ContainerApps list per hostname. - Record instructions are now data (dns.RequiredRecord) that the CLI formats, so ARM specifics stay in pkg/clouds/azure/aca and cli/cert.go stays provider-generic. The apex A-vs-CNAME selection from the previous commit is preserved, as is the TXT ownership record Azure needs and AWS/GCP have no equivalent for. The _dnsauth record in the TXT-validation fallback still prints inline: Azure only mints that token once the cert PUT is in flight, so it cannot be batched — it just carries the prefix now.
