My domain is now hosted on CloudFlare. How do I point it to my server on CloudFlare? I can’t find the A/AAA record.

Hey!
You’ll need to add a DNS record there that points to your server’s IP address. In the Cloudflare dashboard go to “DNS”, then add an “A record” with:
-
Name:
@(or your subdomain, likewww) -
Content: your Droplet’s public IP
-
Proxy status: either proxied (orange cloud) or DNS-only (grey cloud), depending on whether you want Cloudflare’s features enabled.
You don’t need an AAAA record unless your server has an IPv6 address. Once saved, DNS propagation can take a bit of time, then your domain will load from your server.
Heya, @559f6ec77be84c879fd4aa39c3c601
In CloudFlare, make sure once logged in to select your domain name from the upper dropdown menu. Once selected, choose DNS and go to the Add record tab and choose either A or AAAA record type.
