Getting my site public – the struggles

[ad_1]

After a bunch of issues hosting my wife’s site on my Synology NAS i decided to move it to a dedicated proxmox server – giving it more than enough resources to thrive.

I’ve successfully installed turnkey wordpress and migrated my site over. All good – the permalinks point to my localhost and i can navigate without issue on my local network.

I’ve set up a cloudflared tunnel pointing to the ip address of my wordpress – but i just can’t access my site. This isn’t a sub-domain so is it right that my cloudflare dns doesn’t have an A Record (just the CNAME Record)? This is so frustrating… where am i going wrong?

    Well for starters, this isn’t a wordpress issue at all.

    Next, it seems you got the idea it’s better to self host a website in 2024 so that’s your second mistake. 

    And lastly, if you don’t have an A record, how does the DNS know where your website is?
