SRV records not working

Hey! I'm trying to host a few minecraft servers on my server computer. I want to have them connected to domains and I want users to be able to join without having to write the port. I think SRV records are the correct solution to this. The server is running at port 25569 My current dns setup looks like this:

A record: server.example.com -> IP address
SRV record: _minecraft._tcp.server.example.com -> 30 5 25569 server.example.com

A record: server.example.com -> IP address
SRV record: _minecraft._tcp.server.example.com -> 30 5 25569 server.example.com

Clients can currently connect with domain and the port. But not without the port.

dont have the a record and srv record on the same subdomain (its possible but eh more hassle imo)' just set A record to A.example.com and then make the srv target the A record

how would I do that? sorry I don't understand

ProGamingDk•2y ago

u have a A record already just change its name to A so it would be A.example.com

what do you get if you run nslookup -type=srv _minecraft._tcp.play.example.com

AntoOP•2y ago

Server:         127.0.0.53
Address:        127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
_minecraft._tcp.rautacraft.[server].fi      service = 30 5 25569 a.[server].fi.

and does a.[server].fi resolve to your server's IP?

AntoOP•2y ago

yes a.[server].fi:25569 works finme

ProGamingDk•2y ago

your isp might not support srv records

Snow Kit•2y ago

nslookup should use the same nameservers as minecraft

AntoOP•2y ago

wtf I did nothing and now it suddenly works average dns moment

Snow Kit•2y ago

should've probably also told you to do ipconfig /flushdns if you were on windows

AntoOP•2y ago

im on linux

Snow Kit•2y ago

Also, setting your dns name servers to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 or 9.9.9.9/149.112.112.112 may help figured by the 127.0.0.53 as your dns resolver

AntoOP•2y ago

well dns is always wired

Snow Kit•2y ago

it would be systemd-resolve --flush-caches on most linux distros

AntoOP•2y ago

not the first day I have spent fighting with dns servers thank you both for help :)
