Custom domains, Cloudflare, and micro.blog

If you use Cloudflare for your domain as I do for froboy.org, you may have to make some modifications in order to get your domain set up with micro.blog:

  • In Cloudflare’s SSL/TLS settings, turn SSL “Off”.
  • In Cloudflare’s DNS settings, be sure to “grey-cloud” the CNAME and A record pointing to micro.blog.
  • Once micro.blog detects the DNS change and issues the certificate, leave Cloudflare SSL off. Micro.blog now has you covered!
