Looking for help with setting up Swag in unraid

So I'm trying to setup Swag with Tailscale exactly as in Spaceinvador One's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uznDiFPlvvM&t=1004s

I followed everything exactly as is, except I already have a domain with cloudflare so I did not need to transfer one from GoDaddy like he did. However, I keep getting this error

"DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.(mydomain)- check that a DNS record exists for this domain.

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the DNS TXT records created by --dns-cloudflare. Ensure the above domains are hosted by this DNS provider, or try increasing --dns-cloudflare-propagation-seconds (currently 10 seconds)."

From my research into it, it looks like maybe I needed to configure the DNS records? So I added the following

Type Name Content Proxy Status TTL
A www my unraid server IP: xx.xx.xx.xx DNS only - reserved IP auto
CNAME * mydomain.com DNS only auto

But still got the same error. not sure what else to do. Spaceinvader didn't seem to have that issue.

When you opened this thread in the Help section, you should have been provided with a questionnaire. Maybe you didn't get it somehow (which is weird), or you've decided to delete it. In any case, all the answers to this questionnaire are required:


Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):
