Okay so here’s the thing: Cloudflare isn’t just the CDN provider for the instance, it is also the domain’s nameserver. That means that it holds all the DNS records that point mastodon.technology to the various IP addresses used for HTTP requests, email, and even public DKIM keys for mail server verification. These DNS settings are really, really important. If they get messed up, everything about the instance can break.
So I split up the migration from Cloudflare to BunnyCDN into two phases: first migrate the CDN provider, and then migrate the DNS provider. Getting this right is really important, and I mostly did okay, but hopefully you can learn from my experiences.
