Galaxy shows status: " 
Action Required: Galaxy DNS is changing. Update your custom domain CNAME records before April 3, 2026. Learn more"
When I click the “Learn more” -link, it goes to Changelogfy
The first item in that page is " Action Required: Redeploy Your Free Meteor Apps on Galaxy Metal"
when i search DNS from that page, i find the article dated Oct 28, 2024 " Action Required: Important DNS Update for Your Hosted Applications"
So what is the point of that status bar?
Hello @iirokak,
Sorry about that! Our changelog system had an issue and didn’t publish the alerts properly, it only updated our UI. We’ve already fixed it and the new changelog about the Galaxy DNS change is now available here:
With Godaddy it seems like the root domain needs an A record using an IP. Is that changing? I’ve been using an IP this whole time.
Thank you @jasongrishkoff ! We are already aware of the root domain situation, those apps will not be affected yet. We will publish a new changelog next week with the steps that root domains will need to follow. This change will only apply to apps that have a CNAME pointed.
In some cases, when the DNS provider supports ALIAS records, you can point a root domain to a CNAME, but not all DNS providers support ALIAS record creation.
Thanks, I’ll hold tight for next week’s changelog 
Hi, just checking in here - was there an update that I maybe missed?
Hello @jasongrishkoff
Not yet. Rest assured, root domains will not be affected by this maintenance. The April 3 deadline only applies to custom domains that use subdomains.
The changelog regarding root domains will be published by the end of this week or the beginning of next week.
As soon as he’s released, I’ll send it here too.
Best Regards,
By the way, on Metal apps that use the new Settings screen (also, yay! No more awkward redirects!), under the Networking tab, there’s an accordion with instructions for setting up domains.
If you set up a custom domain, it instructs you do to this:
Subdomain (app.example.com)
To use a subdomain with your Galaxy app:
Add your subdomain using the “Add Custom Domain” button
Configure your DNS provider with a CNAME record:
Host/Name: The subdomain you want to use (e.g., “app”)
Value/Points to:
YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAMETTL: 3600 (or as recommended by your provider)
Emphasis made by me: it should point you to something else, like:
YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME.REGION.galaxy-ingress.meteor.com
If you follow the instructions verbatim you’d end up not getting very far I imagine.
Luckily in our email and in the old settings tab (we still have one un-migrated app lurking around) you can see the proper DNS entry value to put in.
(It’s possible because this is a pre-metal app that’s been migrated over that there’s a few bugs or incorrect data in the DB)
