Error when restoring whole Cloudron - box:dns/waitfordns Attempt X failed. Will retry: queryNs ENOTFOUND

[AmbroiseUnly]

Hi, for some reason, configuring my domain doesn't work when restoring from a "box" backup.
I'm not sure what I should do.

As it's not the first time I tried to install it, and I kept the IP (188.245.41.19) around, the DNS A for domain my.cloudron.unly.org is already set. I don't have anything set for cloudron.unly.org, though.

Re-reading the log, I see

It looks like it's fetching DigitalOcean, but I moved the domain to AWS, I was using a DO Droplet but I'm using Hetzner now.
So, maybe the issue is that those DNS are still set on DigitalOcean?

@AmbroiseUnly
There is just an attempt to connect to DigitalOcean DNS, that's why the copy had saved settings from the previous server, where you had DNS from DigitalOcean. If you want a flawless transfer, switch DNS from DO to Amazon on the old server. Then make a backup and then restore on the new server.

[AmbroiseUnly]

Yeah, I destroyed the old server and domain on DigitalOcean since then.
Regardless, this is solved, but was quite difficult to comprehend.

Regardless, this is solved, but was quite difficult to comprehend.

Looking at the logs it seems that previously you had a zone named cloudron.unly.org in DO. Maybe this changed? It's unable to do DO DNS transactions because there is no such zone.

[AmbroiseUnly]

I should have changed DO DNS to AWS before deleting it then, but I didn't quite understand how to do that either.

I guess that'll be the worry of the next person who runs into a similar situation.
