Fix DNS pointing at the wrong IP

Error: DNS resolves to the wrong IP / not propagating

Your domain does not resolve to your VPS, so requests never reach Coolify.

The A record is missing, wrong, or still cached. Nothing else can work until this is correct.

The fix

1. Check what the domain currently resolves to:

   dig +short your-domain.com @8.8.8.8

2. If it is not your VPS IP, fix the A record at your registrar (apex AND www). Set TTL to the minimum (1 min) for fast propagation.

3. Wait for propagation: ~30s on Cloudflare, 1–30 min on most registrars. Re-run the dig until it returns the right IP.

Verify it worked

Both should return your VPS IP:

dig +short your-domain.com @8.8.8.8 && dig +short www.your-domain.com @8.8.8.8
