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!

Seems like a good question for a selfhosting community

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it's also appropriate here, and I appreciate seeing the question (and possible answers) here.

I'm not saying that it isn't a good fit (after all, the fediverse encourages selfhosting) - but OP might get better help there.

My bad, I saw someone else post something similar a few months ago so I thought here would work too.

Share more details please. I also had a similar issue

I do run an instance, but I don't use Cloudflare, so I'm not sure I can be much help.

[–] dawnslayer@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Thanks anyway.

Are you using Cloudflare as DNS, proxy, or via their argo tunnels? (I know you said tunnel, but then mention accessing via IP address, so I'm not entirely sure what you've done.)

Kinda changes what you should be looking at.

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

As far as I know the server's able to be accessed by an IP address so when setting up Cloudflare via their Argo tunnel, that's what I put in the config file.

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay so you're able to access it via the IP it's hosted on, but NOT via the domain name in the tunnel?

Is the working IP a public or private one?

My $5 is that you don't have the tunnel configured properly and that's why you're having issues, but maybe not.

Also, what specifically did you put in the config file? Usually they're not asking for an IP, but the FQDN of the site.

[–] dawnslayer@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Yep, and I'm unsure I just know that I set everything up in CLI. And is that so? In the config file under ingress, it just says 'service' under hostname so I figured it was talking about the IP.

What is the error that you get?

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

Browser's just saying that it can't open the domain that's attached to the instance.

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 1 points 47 minutes ago

is it dns?

[–] fishcharlie@eventfrontier.com 4 points 1 day ago

That’s attached to the instance? Do you have a screenshot maybe?
