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?
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.
The DNS record must point to cloudflare, not the instance IP
Yeah, it does!
Then you might have a security group issue with Cloudflare. Gotta check that out and make sure it’s open.
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
I will try this when I can and let you know!
Please do! Good luck!
What was the issue? Might want to post it for future reference.
