queryNs ENODATA <hostname>

[YurkshireLad]

I just installed Cloudron on a Digital Ocean droplet. After the droplet was created I created an "A" DNS entry on their site pointing to the IP of my droplet. If I visit enter my hostname into a browser I get a 404 (Cloudron is not fully installed yet). "host -t NS <hostname>" gives "<hostname> has no NS record". Does this mean the DNS isn't properly configured?

I'm getting the error "queryNs ENODATA <hostname>" after I enter my Digital Ocean token into the Cloudron installation and it will go no further. Suggestions appreciated.

@YurkshireLad Can you try to follow the instructions in our docs on how to install - https://cloudron.io/documentation/installation/#domain-setup ?

Some questions for you are:

1. Is your domain hosted on Digital Ocean? You can confirm this by running the command host -t NS <mydomain.com> on your PC/laptop. Does it return DO nameservers? Otherwise, you have to follow https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-point-to-digitalocean-nameservers-from-common-domain-registrars

2. If you do use DO DNS, just give it some more time and try again. The NS record in DNS is special that it takes a lot of time to propagate. You can use this tool - https://dnschecker.org/ to check how much it's propagated.

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