After updating DNS management from linode to Cloudflare I’m unable to access cloudron

[stvslkt]

After updating my dns management from linode to Cloudflare I’m unable to access cloudrons admin page. I successfully updated the api key inside of cloudron, from Linode to Cloudflare. Everything went great I even backed up my files and installed updates. After restarting the app I wasn’t able to access my admin page again

@stvslkt What error do you see on the browser? Any screenshot?

[stvslkt]

@girish 404 error not found nginx

[nebulon]

can you double check that the DNS records resolve to the expected IP address?

[stvslkt]

@nebulon I double checked cloudflare and go daddy and everything seems good, it’s really weird, the admin page worked for a bout 2 minutes but it restarted again, my mastodon is also only working for a couple of minutes and goes on and off for some reason

[nebulon]

Can you check the logs at /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log also if nginx responds, but can't serve up the static assets from the dashboard, then this even stranger.

@nebulon

I also disabled proxy for my. on cloudflare. it seems to be working right now. let see how long it'll last or maybe it was porxy that was giving cloudron issues

[stvslkt]

@nebulon so disabling the proxy for my.mywebsite worked for the admin page, I can log in no problem, but now I’m having trouble with my mastodon page. I just get an error and my page won’t load

[girish]

@stvslkt so, you get a 404 for mastodon (with cloudflare proxy disabled) ?

[stvslkt]

@girish “The page you are looking for isn't here.“

This is the error I get when I try going into my mastodon page, my admin page is working by disabling proxy for the my. subdomain from cloudflare just my mastodon page isn’t working anymore

[girish]

@stvslkt Not sure where that message comes from (it's not from Cloudron). Do you have a screenshot? Is it some message from browser? Maybe you can me the mastodon domain to support@cloudron.io and I can check from our side.

[stvslkt]

@girish i switched back my DNS to linode without cloudflare and everything seems to work great again. I'm not sure why clourflare doesnt play nice with cloudron, do you know how i could get it to work?

@girish

@stvslkt OK so, I was able to reproduce this with a test cloudflare domain. The issue is that in Cloudflare the default proxying mode is "Flexible". This is , well, a dangerous default since it is insecure. Change it to Full (strict) and it starts working. Can you check?
