DNS Zone Management in RemarkablePanel

Accessing the DNS editor

Open the website → Domains → your domain → DNS.

The DNS editor shows all records for the domain with their type, name, value, and TTL.

Common record types

A record — point a hostname to an IP

Type: A
Name: yourdomain.com
Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP
TTL: 300

Type: A
Name: www
Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP
TTL: 300

CNAME — alias to another hostname

Type: CNAME
Name: shop
Value: stores.shopify.com
TTL: 3600

Cannot be used for the root domain (@ or bare domain). Use an A record for the root.

MX — mail routing

Type: MX
Name: yourdomain.com
Priority: 10
Value: mail.yourdomain.com
TTL: 3600

TXT — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, verification

Type: TXT
Name: yourdomain.com
Value: v=spf1 ip4:YOUR_IP include:mailchannels.net ~all
TTL: 3600

Adding a record

1. In the DNS editor, click Add Record.
2. Select the record type.
3. Enter the name — for the root domain enter @ or leave blank. For subdomains enter just the subdomain part (e.g. mail not mail.yourdomain.com).
4. Enter the value.
5. Set TTL — use 300 (5 minutes) when making changes so they propagate quickly, increase to 3600 once stable.
6. Click Save.

Editing a record

Click the record → modify the value → Save. The change propagates after the TTL expires.

Deleting a record

Click the record → Delete → Confirm.

⚠

Deleting MX records stops email

Deleting MX records immediately breaks email delivery for the domain. Always verify you have the correct MX records in place before removing old ones.

Verify DNS propagation

# Check A record
dig yourdomain.com A +short

# Check MX
dig yourdomain.com MX +short

# Check from a different resolver
dig @8.8.8.8 yourdomain.com A +short

Or use dnschecker.org to check from multiple global locations.
