Custom URL for preview deployments
Hey! Is there a way to use my custom domain instead of
.pages.dev for preview URL?
I'm using Clerk for auth and when I test my production preview via CF Pages (with a *.pages.dev URL), Clerk fails to load because it's not on my custom domain.
I want *.pages.dev to be *.preview.mydomain.com
Should I use a reverse proxy or maybe a CF Snippet to make this works?3 Replies
You can point a custom domain to a git branch, so it will always be the latest preview deployment of that branch. So if you have a branch
dev then you can have dev.example.com always be the most recent deployment of that branch.

In this guide, you will learn how to add a custom domain (staging.example.com) that will point to a specific branch (staging) on your Pages project.
Hey, thanks for your response.
I finally did it with a nginx reverse proxy to get
<branch>.previews.example.com -> <branch>.myproject.pages.dev
Works very well!@Armand I'm actually working on this same exact scenario. Can you elaborate on your reverse proxy configuration? Where did you host the Nginx server?
