Describe your issue

Hello there!

I’ve got a snapshot of a yunohost instance. I’ve spawned it, server works fine and all. I go on the web ui by going directly to its IP. Its domain is ideeimt.nohost.me. For now, domain doesn’t work as IP changed meanwhile.

I wanted to try if I understand how dyndns recovery password work.

I ssh’ed into the server and tried sudo yunohost domain dyndns unsubscribe ideeimt.nohost.me -p xxxxxxx
It seems to work and I get a success message.

Then I try sudo yunohost domain dyndns subscribe ideeimt.nohost.me
It asks me to configure a recovery password and then I get a success message.

From now, if my understanding of this command is correct. ideeimt.nohost.me should point to the ip of the new server. But when I try dig a ideeimt.nohost.me +short I get 127.0.0.1

I also tried sudo yunohost dyndns update but all I get is Info: No updated needed.

I then tried sudo yunohost dyndns update --force and here I get someting:

Error: The peer didn't know the key we used
Info: The operation 'Update the IP associated with your YunoHost subdomain 'ideeimt.nohost.me'' could not be completed. Please share the full log of this operation using the command 'yunohost log share 20241010-205000-dyndns_update-ideeimt.nohost.me' to get help

And here the log.

What is it I’m missing ?

I looked into the manual of that command but couldn’t find much info I’m afraid.

Thanks a lot for your precious help.

Works fine for me, I end up on your portal login form. DNS propagation can take some time, and it is normal for your local DNS resolver to answer 127.0.0.1. Though you may have encountered a (hopefully) temporary service disruption.
