But I spent several hours fighting with a DNS change, trying to host my marketing website as Cloudflare pages site from my root domain (with DNS managed by Cloudflare), and then wildcard subdomains routed to a Render server. I couldn't get it to work no matter what configs I tried. My root domain marketing site is proxied through Cloudflare and I was trying to get the wildcard subdomains as DNS-only, and I suspect this was the problem but idk. In other words, the Cloudflare pages marketing site is https://bookhead.net https://bookhead.net and I wanted my customer's subdomains to route to the Render server like https://forlornbooks.bookhead.net/ https://forlornbooks.bookhead.net/ (I still get the error since I haven't finished my migration to Heroku). The subdomains worked with no problem until I tried to setup a separate marketing site at the root domain. Also, I had a hard time setting up SSH with a containerized server. It was a weird DX that was a bit confusing to document so I can remember later. Can only imagine how confusing it might be if I ever have teammates. The Render CLI looks promising, though. These are only the most recent issues. Seems like y'all improved the headaches I ran into the time I tried.
