Solved Add an A record manually for the domain

[Shaun Snapp]

I can't tell where to add an A record in Cloudron. I searched through every Cloudron setting page I could.
This is the error I receive when changing the URL of my app.

"Add an A record manually for www.abc.com to this Cloudron's public IP"

I purchased the domain around 1/2 hour before trying to change an app to that domain. This is the error I received when the app failed to propagate.

"Error : DNS Error - DNS A Record is not synced yet: ETRYAGAIN"

Hi @Shaun-Snapp,

I think for a proper answer some more details are needed, like how do you manage dns in general for your domain?

The general dns documentation for Cloudron is located at https://docs.cloudron.io/installation/#domain-setup

Whenever I purchase a new domain name, I add it to my Cloudflare account, add the domain with the cloudflare api to Cloudron. Afterwards the domain can be added for new or existing apps.

That message is saying that you have to add the A record manually in your domain provider (not in Cloudron). Cloudron cannot add/remove DNS entries for the domain because it's "manual" mode and thus has no programmatic access to your DNS.

The place where you purchased your domain most likely has a Domain/DNS control panel where you can add/remove DNS entries.
