DNS Diagnosis incorrect

[Vaughan]

My YunoHost server

Hardware: Old Dell laptop
YunoHost version: 4.2.8.1 (stable)
I have access to my server : Through SSH | through the webadmin | direct access via keyboard / screen
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

The diagnosis reports a missing DNS A record

However, the record does exist…

This report began after a recent update was applied to the Yunohost server (can’t remember which one) but the DNS settings in Heart had not changed. Anyone have any ideas what’s wrong here?
Thanks

Seems a DNS cache issues, wait 1 hour (maybe 24h) and rerun diagnosis.

[Vaughan]

I thought about that but it’s been going on for over a week.

[Vaughan]

And still going on. DNS propagation checkers all show no problems but this is now preventing cert renewal. I have no idea what to do next.

I completely reinstalled Yunohost from scratch and moved my domain to a new registrar to get CAA record support. Diagnosis still reports the error for the A record. Clearly the problem is with Yunohost. Can anyone suggest where to look to solve this? PLEASE! Otherwise I’m going to have to move to another distro.

@Vaughan

Diagnosis still reports the error for the A record

Could you copy the detail explanation here ?

I f you think your config is ok, you can try to bypass diagnosis checks for installing Let’s Encrypt:

yunohost domain cert-install --no-checks

[Vaughan]

Detailed description is in the original post. I have been doing everything from the web interface. What is the syntax for cert install from the command line?

Edit: OK, I found the cert-install documentation. I’ll give it a try.

[Vaughan]

Yes, that got me an updated certificate. I’d still like to know what’s wrong though so I could report a bug or fix my installation, whichever is relevant.

Gotcha! I had a dodgy LAN DNS setting in the router. All working again.
