I updated the forward-everything.conf to point to my router and got the same results. unbound status also had the same errors.
I did a ping of api.namecheap.com from my regular desktop, and it seemed to worked normally (maybe not useful info lol).

I then tried pointing the forward-everything.conf to the DNS address listed in my router (the modem from my ISP forwards everything to the router). Using that changed the status results of unbound but the ping to api.namecheap.com still didn't work unfortunately.

Results from forwarding to DNS address listed in router:
alphy@cloud-alphy:~$ ping api.namecheap.com
ping: api.namecheap.com: Name or service not known
alphy@cloud-alphy:~$ systemctl status unbound

Here's what I got for the ping/host:
ping: api.namecheap.com: Name or service not known
Host api.namecheap.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL)

For the unbound, I had to set up the forward-everything.conf to get Cloudron to install, so that part is already set.

I checked the status of unbound and this is the result, in case it's useful info:

I have Cloudron installed on my little home server and set up port forwarding (443) on my router. (per blog post here).

I turned on the API key with Namecheap (and whitelisted my IP address), waited for a few hours, but am getting an error on the Domain Setup page.

The error says: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.namecheap.com

I didn't see any posts that seemed to address this exact issue during set up, so thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions.

Thanks for the help, that worked perfectly!

I'm trying to install on a PC on my home network and getting this same error every time, despite using a fresh install of Ubuntu each time.

(I'm following the instructions on the Cloudron blog here.)

Is there any documentation that step-by-step explains how to resolve this so Cloudron will install (aka a "for dummies" version)?
