And that was me, misreading the whole thread !

Thread is wrong, this vote should not be about registrars, but rather about what DNS-provider that we user use.

Registrars != DNS

You can use registrar A, but still use DNS-provider XYZ - they are not really related.

Maybe you can elaborate what you mean by DNS provider then…

A Registar - where you register and pay for your domain

DNS-provider - where you administrate the zone for the domain.

For example, you can use Gandi as a registrar, and you can use Cloudflare as a DNS-provider.
Still, many registrars do offer a DNS-service (authoritive) aswell. But a registrar and a DNS-provider is not the same.

Yes we discussed about this point during the conception of the feature. Provider detection is based on NS server, so it detects your Authoritative DNS provider.

However, we spek here about registrar cause it’s the word the most yunohost instance admins understand… But you are true, we speak here about Authoritative DNS provider that manage the DNS zone for domains or subdomains you added in YunoHost.

I am using LWS as my registrar and dns provider https://www.lws.fr/

I did an initial test of nfsn (Nearly Free Speech) and things looked good with testing, but I am hoping that there will be a testing image to install rather than installing and then upgrading to testing. Is that possible?

@presgas : it’s possible, but it’s really no big deal to install then switch to testing …

I had a little bit of an issue switching. I should have paid more attention and then posted here. However, I would be willing to give it all a go again. If I run into the switching error again, I will post in the 4.3 testing thread.

My domain registrar is crazydomains.co.nz, because I wanted to buy a cheap *.geek.nz domain name. My authoritative DNS provider is cloudflare.com, with CrazyDomains configured to point to CloudFlare for my DNS. I also have namecheap.com as a temporary email server for my domain, with the MX entries in my CloudFlare account pointing to NameCheap’s mx1.privateemail.com and mx2.privateemail.com temporarily until I get my Yunohost installation up and running fully, then I’ll cut over to using Yunohost for email as well, and get rid of NameCheap. At that point I will need to change my MX entries in CloudFlare to get my mail working directly with Yunohost.

As pointed out in the initial topic, we rely on the Lexicon library GitHub - AnalogJ/lexicon: Manipulate DNS records on various DNS providers in a standardized way. for DNS API support, we ain’t maintainers of that library, we ain’t magically gonna add support for any random provider
