Subdomain CNAME alias to Heroku DNS still ends up at Cloudron
-
Hello fellow Cloudron users,
I'm a bit lost with this DNS issue I have, and hope someone can lend me a helping hand.
Case:
I have an additional domain set up in cloudron to host a landing page on the base domain "example.com" and also to receive emails. Working fine.
Now i want to point a sub-domain "app.example.com" to a heroku dyno on the DNS level.
I added a CNAME pointing to the Heroku DNS.If I test it with:
host app.example.com
i get:
app.example.com has address <Cloudron Server IP> app.example.com is an alias for xyz.herokudns.com.
My question:
Does the wildcard (*) A record pointing to my Cloudron IP beat the CNAME alias I set?
Does anyone have experience with a similar use case?
Is there maybe a better way to do it?When I open app.example.com in a browser i get to the http version showing me "You found a Cloudron out in the wild!"
Not sure how to proceed here...
I'd greatly appreciate a pointer in the right direction.Thanks in any case!!

Oh boi. False alarm.
Seems like it just needed some time to propagate the DNS stuff.
It's working now. I Allready waited the whole night for it to happen.
Just now as I wrote the thread it propagated.Im leaving this here in case anyone needs to do a similar task.
@mods feel free to delete if not appropriate.Thanks all!
