Instance owners, how did you get your servers online? [REPOST] (lemmy.world)

I created my community using Sharkey, and I didn’t want to bother the service maintainers any more than I already have, so I’m reaching out here for help. 😂

How did you get your servers online? I manage my domain through Cloudflare, and I tried setting up a tunnel to access my instance. The server is online, and I can access the admin panel via an IP address, but I get an error when I type in the domain via my browser (Firefox). Cloudflare users, I could really use your help!

EDIT: Nevermind! Everything’s working guys!

What error do you get, for a start?

[–] dawnslayer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Browser just says that the domain can’t load, it will also show up as blank webpage. This would happen with other browsers too. As said before, I can access the server’s admin panel just fine, I just want to make sure that everyone else can see my instance too.

Do you have DNS A records pointing to the right place?

`dig whateveryourdomain.tld' and find out.

[–] dawnslayer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, it does!

Then you might have a security group issue with Cloudflare. Gotta check that out and make sure it's open.

The DNS record must point to cloudflare, not the instance IP

What was the issue? Might want to post it for future reference.

I also have my domain with cloudflare, try checking the DNS menu there and create an A level record pointing to your server's public ip address

[–] dawnslayer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I will try this when I can and let you know!

[–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago

Please do! Good luck!
