Aruba

How to make a domain managed on Aruba point to your OtterRoute node.

What to create

In the OtterRoute panel the domain shows you the records to create. In essence:

Type	Name	Value
A	cdn (or the chosen subdomain)	the public IPv4 of the node (or of your proxy)
AAAA	same	the IPv6, if you use it
CNAME	cdn	a name that already points to the node (subdomains only, never the apex)

Steps

1. Log in to the management panel (admin.aruba.it) → the domain → DNS management.
2. Add record, choose the type (A, AAAA, CNAME), enter host and target, TTL.
3. Confirm and save the configuration. You can also schedule activation for a future date.

Things to watch

• Propagation: Aruba states about 24 hours.
• You can have different TTLs for different hosts of the same domain.
• Apex: the sources consulted do not show an alias/flattening record type: on the apex use A/AAAA.
• Aruba's guides vary between hosting, domains and Aruba Business: look for the one for your service.
• The panel uses Aruba's name servers only if the domain uses them.

Verifying

dig +short cdn.example.com
curl -i http://cdn.example.com/.well-known/otterroute/check

Then press Recheck in the panel: verification runs exactly these two tests (DNS, then HTTP on port 80 with the node's proof). See Domains and DNS and Troubleshooting.
