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.
