Installation Stuck on Waiting for DNS propagation (Attention to Ad Blocker!!)

[igaudette]

Hi,

It's been two Cloudron instances I'm installing that I forget to disable my extension AdBlock and everytime I forget, the installation is stuck at the step of DNS propagation.

Only fix I've found is to reinstall the server and start the process again, that time, with AdBlock disabled and it works flawless.

I think Cloudron team you should mention this in the documentation, because a lot of people are using AdBlock in their browsers, so this could save the hassle for some

AdBlock? Like a browser extension?
The browser extension has zero interference points with the DNS setup of the server.
I also use uBlock Origin since. . . Always! This never happened to me or anyone I know that installed Cloudron.

What ever is happening for you is something else server maybe even provider related, or your AdBlock does something with your local DNS and messes up stuff (what AdBlocker do you use?).

With the latter, it is the extensions fault and not Cloudron.

AdBlock should not block the dashboard domain unless of course the domain is sus Not sure what we should mention in the docs though.

That's the one. It does hang the process... Probably because it block some JavaScript code, dunno. But once I whitelist the Cloudron server and restart the process it does work.

Anyway even if you don't add it to the doc, let's keep this forum post open as I'm sure it will be helpful for some.

Ps: I never said it was Cloudron fault

I use uBlock Origin and have never had a problem.
