@girish I seeeeee! You've thought all this through before! OK, I learned new things from your explanation. Prob one just for the documentations then unless you think a per-App setting would be easy enough? It's only saving going into Cloudflare to delete and re-add the records but then my next research is going to be into https://dnsmadeeasy.com. TBH as I think Cloudflare is more a pied-piper following for their good marketing than for the essentials that are often better handled at the host (like Anti-DDoS, for which I do like Hetzner covering on the network level).

@nebulon For sure, yeah I figured it may need more interest before it's implemented, and realistically I'm probably the only Cloudron user who's hosting on LunaNode (though I'd love to know if others are too), as I think LunaNode is a nice hidden gem that's not overly used yet and I switched to them recently as I had heard great things and their pricing is pretty good. Brief recommendation at the bottom for anyone interested. I'll let them know too about Cloudron in case they can do anything to help out too. On the topic of DNS at LunaNode though... it seems pretty awesome from what I can tell, as it has integrated load balancing and failover which is perfect and works with their included monitoring feature too (which is like Uptime Robot but provided by LunaNode), and so if my monitor fails and I have a second DNS entry, it'll automatically remove the failed one from the DNS records temporarily until it's back online, giving only the backup DNS entry for the "hot standby" server. Hoping to take advantage of those features in the not too distant future if it's feasible for me to run a second "hot standby" server. Waiting on Cloudron to add in some functionality to clustering which I think is coming in v6. Once that's there, I hope to be able to do that. Nudge nudge. haha. Brief recommendation based on my initial tests so far for other Cloudron users who want a good inexpensive hosting provider: I recently moved my Cloudron server from OVH to LunaNode to test out their performance, and the exact same Cloudron server in OVH used to take 10 minutes to fully come online after a reboot in OVH, and having restored that same server in LunaNode it now takes only 2-3 minutes to fully come online. That's also with some memory-intensive applications like Mastodon and NodeBB (which are always the last two to start in my environment given their resource usage). Same 8 GB nodes between OVH and LunaNode too. This performance improvement now cuts my downtime after reboots for security updates by almost 75%! That's my brief recommendation for LunaNode. haha.

@girish This is an interesting observation. I was just looking to see if this was a real security threat or not, and I suppose it isn't but can offer a bit more privacy using the wildcard approach. Any particular reason why the Let's Encrypt wildcard support can't be done through the actual Cloudron wildcard DNS approach? Is there a way to support this? I'd really like to take advantage of a smaller DNS provider which has some great monitoring features included, but it isn't supported via any API by Cloudron yet, so if I go that route I can only use the Wildcard option, but those don't actually allow for the wildcard certificates. Edit: Nevermind, I see why in the docs: "Let's Encrypt only allows obtaining wildcard certificates using DNS automation. Cloudron will default to obtaining wildcard certificates when using one of the programmatic DNS API providers."

@Felix Did you manage to install it?

I think you're right, it took a while to propogate fully.

@girish yes, that’s a much better idea. Essentially the ability to “swap” app instances, or in other words the ability to easily promote from staging app instance to production app instance on the same server. That’d be ideal.

@JOduMonT Currently, Cloudron does not support IPv6 and requires an IPv4. You can, of course, configure your server to have IPv6 address additionally and configure DNS AAAA records manually and that should work. Goes without saying, we want to add IPv6 support at some point (I know it's 2020!! )

Hi @derek sorry for the delayed answer, did you manage to solve this after the TTLs have expired from your attempts?

Ah seems to be working now thanks - I had added my full domain foo.ddns.net to the zone name field initially as It autofilled ddns.net and I thought that cloundron might then try to generate subdomains with the foo part missing e.g. my.ddns.net which wouldn't work but apparently not. Thanks for the Help!

There is an entry in the issue tracker for powerdns already at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/issues/117 Regarding the Linux distribution, we currently only support Ubuntu in versions 16.04 and 18.04 and due to testing effort, we don't currently plan on adding further distributions.
