OVHcloud

How to make a domain managed on OVHcloud 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. Customer area → Web Cloud → Domains → the domain → DNS zone tab → Add an entry.
2. Choose A/AAAA/CNAME, subdomain and target, TTL (default or custom).
3. Confirm.

Things to watch

• Trailing dot in CNAMEs: if the target is a name, write it with the dot (node.example.net.); without it, OVHcloud appends your domain.
• Propagation: OVHcloud states up to 24 hours. To speed up future changes you can lower the default TTL from the Actions on my zone menu.
• If the domain uses name servers other than OVHcloud's, the zone here has no effect.

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.
