Unable to setup my DNS record using 1and1 as domain host and dokku apps
Hi there,
I am trying to keep my website hosting in 1and1 and also have multiple dokku apps on my droplet.
Here is what i’ve done so far (please, understand “mydomain” is really my real domain name):
1.- I created a new Droplet to host my dokku apps (apps.mydomain.com)
2.- In 1and1 domain configuration for mydomain.com, i changed the dns servers to:
ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com
2.- In the Digitalocean control panel i added a new Domain (mydomain.com)
Added some A records:
@ [ip address of mydomain.com]
apps [ip address of the droplet (apps.mydomain.com)]
*.apps [ip address of the droplet (apps.mydomain.com) in an effort to be able to use app1.apps.mydomain.com and app2.apps.mydomain.com to access each of my dokku apps
And a CNAME record:
www mydomain.com.
Also, the NS records of the three digitalocean servers are let untouched:
ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com
But after two days i am still unable to reach the servers through ping. What am i doing wroing?
Thank you very much indeed
