the https://starchart.forgeflux.org/add page mentions that you need access to the forges DNS server, but it isn't clear what the steps are if you have that access. Do you enter the hostname of your instance in the box to get started? or do you need to do some DNS stuff first?

Submitting the form should display a page with DNS configuration instructions, I should probably mention it in the add page as well. :D
