If you catch the errors, you can just schedule a new alarm

As for the first request thing, yeah, you have to do that

You just need to specify the subdomain for that panel looks like, not the full domain as you did

Chaika•3/24/24, 6:34 PM

Under Custom Hostnames you can use DCV Delegation as well, creating a cname from _acme-challenge to the dcv hostname Cloudflare gives you, so that it can freely renew the certificate in the future/retry on its own

Chaika•3/24/24, 7:02 PM

You don't need the TXT if you're going to use DCV Delegation.

You need to drop the gluee.shop part of it, it should be just

_acme-challenge

_acme-challenge

as the Host for the CNAME. Otherwise it's taking it to be _acme-challenge.gluee.shop_acme-challenge.gluee.shop as the subdomain, which puts it under _acme-challenge.gluee.shop.gluee.shop _acme-challenge.gluee.shop.gluee.shop which not what it wants

If you keep changing nameservers, some users are going to have old DNS settings cached. You have to wait for DNS propagation to catch up worldwide

Burrito•3/25/24, 12:25 AM

Related, the TXT validation has an expiration date, what is it for? Does that mean I have to redo the whole validation process again at that time?

Dubz•3/25/24, 5:27 AM

Assuming this is LetsEncrypt (or something similar), yes. In reality, it should be done every 60 days (which LE does), and it should be handled by automated systems (ex. cron jobs).

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:14 AM

Depends on your setup and what you're using for this? Not really much info to go off of here. Assuming you did it manually, that tells me you aren't using something built into Cloudflare (otherwise it would've done it all for you).

Burrito•3/25/24, 10:16 AM

I have customers that want to have their domain point to mine using a CNAME record, and I'm using custom hostname of Cloudflare for SaaS, which requires the customer to do a TXT validation by putting a TXT record with the challenge name and value. Maybe it's not the right way to go about achieving what I want, I'm pretty new to this.

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:40 AM

What exactly is it you're referring to here? TXT validation for what? I thought earlier that it was for SSL based off of the screenshots, hence the mention of LetsEncrypt

Burrito•3/25/24, 10:40 AM

No, this is for custom hostname in Cloudflare for SaaS.

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:41 AM

~~Oh, that's a different thing entirely.~~ Actually technically I have no idea what he was validating either lol. Does it tell you the expiration?

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:44 AM

Are you referring to something like Node or Angular?

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:44 AM

Also that has nothing to do with Cloudflare. Best choice here for something like that would be #off-topic

i dont know im trying to upload php files in worker and it not work it will just auto delete after i refrest the site

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:46 AM

Ahhh. That's because workers don't use the PHP engine. You'd need to rewrite them or hire someone who can do that, depending on the complexity.

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:47 AM

At least last I recall they don't.

Burrito•3/25/24, 10:47 AM

Yeah it's for the custom hostname validation, Cloudflare doesn't allow random domains to just CNAME to your domain unless validated by doing a TXT record challenge. It does say the expiration date (seems to be 3 months after validated) and I'm just wondering what happens when that expires, because having to do it again with all the customers feels quite annoying.

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:47 AM

PHP scripts require PHP engine to process them. Otherwise you'll just get the source code outputted as plain text in most web servers.

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:49 AM

Ah, yeah that sounds about right. There may be a way you can automate domain validation for this. I'm not on my computer so I can't really look it up, but someone else may soon now that the US is waking up.

BBotFather_eso how can i get a PHP engine bro?

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:50 AM

Most web servers have them. You can search up web hosts and find one, some free and many paid. Alternatively you can host your own and use cloudflared to expose it to the public. Just depends on the script(s) and whether or not you'd want them self hosted or hosted on workers. It's still doable, just depends on what it is.

BotFather_eso•3/25/24, 10:53 AM

btw bro what you mean in rewrite?

Dubz•3/25/24, 10:54 AM

Like, translate. Different languages. Just like English and Spanish. Need someone who knows both basically.

BotFather_eso•3/25/24, 10:57 AM

is babel-preset good for converting php to java?

Dubz•3/25/24, 11:00 AM

Don't know, never used it. The level of complexity of the script(s) will control how well it works out. If it's a single file, it's got a decent chance. If it's an entire application like WordPress, I wouldn't count on it. That's just me, though.

Dubz•3/25/24, 11:01 AM

Best way to find out is to go break some eggs and learn how it works. Learning how it works will be far more beneficial.

yes bro im doing it. last question sir is worker.js not deletable?

DarkDeviL•3/25/24, 4:52 PM

Let's Encrypt "validations" expire after 30 days, and given the 90 days expiration of certificates, they are typically being renewed, when there is 30 days (or less) left on the previous certificate, meaning around every 60 days.
The TXT would therefore need to be changed at least once every 60 days for that reason.

You SHOULD be able to set it up with the DCV Delegation to avoid having to change it all the time, for you customer's setup with your SaaS configuration.

However, the DCV Delegation could be a Catch-22, and come with similar consequences:

If your customer is creating a CNAME (or other records) on the

_acme-challenge

_acme-challenge

label for e.g. Let's Encrypt validations, then their set up with any other provider trying to issue certificates (and depending on the same DNS record label for that) may cause them to break the set up with you, when they are trying to fix the issuance problem they're ending up with on their other provider, and vice versa.
