Before you can add a new domain zone in the RunCloud dashboard, you need to integrate RunCloud with your Cloudflare account. This will allow you to manage your DNS records in Cloudflare directly from your RunCloud dashboard.
You can find a guide on how to integrate RunCloud with Cloudflare here.
After you have integrated RunCloud with Cloudflare, you can add a new domain zone in your RunCloud dashboard by following these steps:
- Click on DNS Manager in the left menu of the RunCloud dashboard.
- Click on the Add New Domain Zone button at the top right corner of the DNS Manager page.
- Select your Cloudflare API key from the drop-down menu. If you have not added your Cloudflare API key yet, you can do so by following these instructions.
- If your Cloudflare account has multiple organizations, select the account associated with your API key from the drop-down menu.
- Enter the domain name that you want to add to your Cloudflare account in the text box. For example,
example.com.
- Click on the Add Domain Zone button to proceed. Next, you will see your existing name servers, and the new name servers that Cloudflare has assigned to your domain. You need to update your name servers at your DNS registrar to point to the new name servers.
- To do this, go to your DNS registrar’s website and log in to your account. Find the section where you can manage your domain’s name servers and delete the existing ones. Then, add the new name servers that Cloudflare has provided and save the changes. You may need to wait for some time for the changes to propagate across the internet (up to 48 hours).
Congratulations! You have successfully added a new domain zone in RunCloud dashboard. You can now manage your DNS records on Cloudflare directly from RunCloud dashboard.
