Instance owners, how did you get your servers online? [REPOST] (lemmy.world)

I created my community using Sharkey, and I didn’t want to bother the service maintainers any more than I already have, so I’m reaching out here for help. 😂

How did you get your servers online? I manage my domain through Cloudflare, and I tried setting up a tunnel to access my instance. The server is online, and I can access the admin panel via an IP address, but I get an error when I type in the domain via my browser (Firefox). Cloudflare users, I could really use your help!

What error do you get, for a start?

[–] dawnslayer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Browser just says that the domain can’t load, it will also show up as blank webpage. This would happen with other browsers too. As said before, I can access the server’s admin panel just fine, I just want to make sure that everyone else can see my instance too.

Do you have DNS A records pointing to the right place?

`dig whateveryourdomain.tld' and find out.

The DNS record must point to cloudflare, not the instance IP

I also have my domain with cloudflare, try checking the DNS menu there and create an A level record pointing to your server's public ip address

I will try this when I can and let you know!
