Best way to change DNS providers from Cloudflare to an EU provider?

@hakunamatata said in Best way to change DNS providers from Cloudflare to an EU provider?:
And how would I go about migrating from Cloudflare DNS to a new provider with minimal downtime to applications hosted on my Cloudron server?
Many providers these days allow import/export of the zone file. So, export the zone file from one provider and import it into another. After you do this, just change the NS to (say) Bunny . This will make sure that all DNS entries (not just Cloudron related) are migrated properly .
After above, you can go to Domains view of Cloudron and change the provider to Bunny .
0 disruption.
@joseph Thanks for the step by step instructions... seems straightforward enough!

@hakunamatata Thanks for sharing and expanding on your interesting point of view.
How can I disagree with your point... everyone is fed up with geopolitical uncertainty.
Please keep us updated on your research.
I recently connected to the interesting site https://european-alternatives.eu/ that I recommend you to view if you have not already done so.

@hakunamatata For simple stuff Im always happy with United-Domains. But if you need IaC, automation and APIs Hetzner, etc might be the better bet.
Off-topic as well, but we shape our modern society partly with our wallets. Funding contexts that we want to strengthen and defunding ones we (for whatever reason) do not want to support is part of modern live as conscious buyers and participants of our economies. From a company point of view political/compliance/risk reasons can very well be drivers for technical decisions, even if they steer away from the subjectively "best" solution. So I understand your approach very well. My company will not immediately switch established vendors we are already using. Migration cost is not 0. But for new investments we will also evaluate the current geo political situation (and risk) and probably lean towards european vendors in the future.

@hakunamatata there is also Infomaniak, based in Switzerland, but atm it's not yet implemented in Cloudron, maybe one day (feature request here) ?
So we need to manage DNS records manually. -
with pleasure @hakunamatata, keep us posted.

@hakunamatata did you ever check out https://desec.io/ ?
I know I also suggested Hetzner, but desec.io is a non-profit and directly supported by the EU.
Also Cloudron supports it https://docs.cloudron.io/domains/#desec-dns -

In a similar vein, see also these directories, all good in their own way:
