      If you have some internal DNS or DNS queries are blocked, you may have to configure the DNS server (unbound). See https://docs.cloudron.io/networking/#private-dns

        @nebulon, thank you for the help. I have restarted, and it's always a blank Ubuntu 22 Server. Here is the URL to grab the ISO image for my hyperv-vm. (https://ubuntu.com/download/server) I have restarted it a few times and always get stuck right after it installs unbound.

          @girish, Thank you for the reply. I will have to try setting this up later. I will let you know if I run into any issues.

            @girish, should I just forward all my DNS requests to my internal DNS server (AdGuard)? I'm just looking over the guide.

              It looks like I am up, but I cannot get to the dashboard to work.

                I am now receiving the following error messages after I put my info in the dashboard. I can see that in Cloudflare, it updated my DNS address to my public IP address. For security reasons, I won't post it here. I have set up port forwarding on my WatchGuard firewall. Screenshot 2023-12-06 at 11.16.32 PM.png

                  So can you resolve those mentioned records from within the VM manually using the cloudflare nameservers?

                    Here is the attached ping of the bruce.ns.cloudflare.com. I can ping it. Screenshot 2023-12-07 at 8.06.05 AM.png. Thank you, guys, for all your help in getting this resolved.

                      Actually this is just pinging the nameserver. What I meant was if the TXT record _acme-challenge.digitalarmourpartners.com resolves, since you indicated that this record was created correctly in cloudflare (maybe double check this also). All the Cloudron code does here is to wait for nameservers to have propagated.

                        I do see the txt record in the Cloudflare account. @nebulon

                          And can you resolve it from your server or within the network your server is running? I can see the record here as well and it appears to be fine, but looks like the Cloudron server cannot. This is likely the root cause which you need to debug why that does not resolve there.

                            @nebulon, is there any place you recommend I start?

                              for a start check host -t TXT _acme-challenge.digitalarmourpartners.com via SSH on your host. If it does not resolve, you have to debug your DNS resolving on the Cloudron server. Check if the unbound service is running. Further it really depends a bit on your own setup, this is hard for us from the outside to investigate.

                                Yes, it looks like it is resolving, and unbound is running.

                                  @nebulon, after a reboot, I get a connection timeout on the localhost for which my Cloudron resides.
