How long? DNS Propagation

[plantsandbinary]

I recently enabled the myservers function at:

 

https://192-168-1-50.blahblahbigstringhere.myunraid.net:35894/

 

In my router I mapped:

 

External 35894 to internal 192.168.1.50:35894

 

 

I've been waiting a few hours now but the Settings page is just sitting on

DNS Propagation is PENDING

 

How long does this take? Perhaps a NOTE: could be added here if it takes some days or something to complete. As I would have expected this to come up relatively quickly.

Hmm interestingly:

 

https://blahblahbigstringhere.unraid.net:35894/

 

seems to work fine...

 

Why then is the settings page showing the URL in the top post, which includes the local IP with hyphens and uses "myunraid" instead of just "unraid"?

Well I just forgo this entire thing. Removed the MyServers plugin entirely and just did the forwarding via cloudfare proxy, SSL and HSTS and using Nginx Proxy.

Downside with this setup though is that it relies on the nginxproxymanager container which relies on Docker. But my machine is set up to automatically mount the array and start nginxproxy container anyway.

 

Would have been nice to lower level config like just relying on Unraid being running (not docker or any containers) but I didn't want to have to hack around with SSL from cloudfare for that.

 

I really don't like this "myservers" plugin. It isn't secure, is still in beta and even the backups are not encrypted.
