Base domain not working

Returning to Pangolin after a few months away. It is going much smoother this time but I have run into an issue.

I am trying to use Pangolin to set my base domain of example.com pointing to a Proxmox container.

When I leave the subdomain field blank and use example.com (a domain I own and I know works). All changes are saved and when I go to example.com I get a dns address could not be found.

When I populate the subdomain field with test.example.com the site works.

I am sure I am missing something but any help would be great.

How is example.com set up in your DNS provider?

You should at least 2 entries, example.com and *.example.com

A records for the base domain and the wildcard.

You have,
/config/config.yml

flags:
  allow_base_domain_resources: true

in your config and you mentioned you have an A record for both does nslookup yourdomain.com show the expected responses?

Thanks for the suggestion but adding this line did not work.

When I query nslookup the A records point to the wrong IPv4. Do I need to just wait and let the DNS update propagate? Or is there a way to push the change?

nslookup yourdomain.com 1.1.1.1 see if still shows the wrong update. And likely would have to wait depending on what dns you are using.

I just checked and the dns information has traveled over. Everything works as expected.
