Bulk swap of the old docker host IP to the new one across 13 zones.
docker-1.supported.systems intentionally preserved at the old IP — the
hostname stays tied to the old box until decommissioned.
Wildcards in DNS only synthesize for names that don't already exist
in the zone tree. A `_acme-challenge.<sub>` TXT record makes <sub>
an "empty non-terminal" — exists in the tree (as a parent node) but
has no records of its own. Per RFC 4592 §2.2.3, wildcards skip these,
so RFC-compliant resolvers (HE, BIND) return NODATA for <sub> even
when the zone has `* CNAME @`.
Fix: for each <sub> that's an empty non-terminal in a zone with a
wildcard, add an explicit `<sub> CNAME @` so the resolution outcome
matches what the wildcard would have produced. Zero-knowledge — no
need to identify the specific service IP per name.
30 records added across 14 zones:
acrazy.org (langfuse.dootie)
context.bet (studio)
copper-springs.online (docs.butler.dev)
demostar.io (cw.cw, doom, meet)
home-inspector.store (api, dashboard, mailpit)
inspect.pics (admin)
log.doctor (app, docs)
malloys.us (cp, cp-sandbox, mary)
nielsen-inspections.com (calendar, cw, files, v2-calendar)
qubeseptic.com (api.dispatch, dispatch, leads, mail.dispatch,
rentcache.dispatch)
ryanmalloy.com (c4ai)
sidejob.pro (api)
upc.llc (catalog, minio.or, or, s3)
CoreDNS (lenient) was returning the wildcard CNAME for these names
anyway; HE (strict RFC-compliant) was returning empty. After this
change, both behave identically.
27 records across 15 zones converted from direct A records pointing at
the Tailscale endpoint (100.79.95.190) to CNAMEs pointing at the
Tailscale-named alias. Now if the underlying Tailscale node's IP
changes, only the rpm-bullet record needs updating instead of
chasing 27 zones.
Affected zones (all *.l labels + a handful of dev / dev.mary names):
acrazy.org copper-springs.online demostar.io flonhoney.com
homestar.ink kg7q.cc malloys.us ourjob.site
qubeseptic.com ryanmalloy.com septic.report sidejob.pro
supported.systems warehack.ing zmesh.systems
No CNAME collisions: none of the converted names had other records
(MX/TXT/SRV/CAA/AAAA) at the same exact name. _acme-challenge.<sub>.l
records sit at distinct subdomains and continue to resolve independently
(verified: TXT lookups for known _acme-challenge.l.* names still return
the original values).
Also fixed prepare-zones.sh: added `|| true` after the serial-detection
grep so a zero-match (first run of a new day) doesn't trip `set -e`
and abort the whole prep.
