    I did restart systemd-resolved service but doesn't seem to work.
    After doing so the content of /etc/resolv.conf is :

    # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)      
    #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN             
    # 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.                                 
                                                                                        
    nameserver 212.24.109.143                                                           
    nameserver 80.208.225.143 
    

    Shouldn't it be 9.9.9.9 as specified in the /etc/systemd/resolve.conf file ?

    Cloudron doc says All apps and services use systemd-resolved for name resolution. You can configure systemctl-resolved as required by your network
    So the above should have work isn't it ?

      @cylon systemd-resolved run on 127.0.0.53 . So, you have to also change /etc/resolv.conf to be nameserver 127.0.0.53 .

        How do I do that ? If I change the file /etc/resolv.conf to add the line

        nameserver 127.0.0.53
        

        It get overwritten at reboot and the line is deleted

          I tried to changed the /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/cloudron-network.conf adding this:

          # Forward all DNS queries to Quad9 DNS                                              
          forward-zone:                                                                       
                  name: "."                                                                   
                  forward-addr: 9.9.9.9                                                       
                  forward-addr: 149.112.112.112 
          

          but request are still going to 212.24.109.143 and not 9.9.9.9

          what service is managing the /etc/resolve.conf file ?

          here are all my files:
          /etc/systemd/resolved.conf:

            @cylon there's much to unwrap. Unfortunately, the way all these things interact is quite complicated.

            Before I say anything, are you on Cloudron 8? I am wonder why you have your /etc/resolv.conf handled by resolvconf ? Cloudron 8 has removed this package. If you are still on some < v8, I recommend upgrading first because the instructions to change the DNS are different.

            For Cloudron 8, here is a checklist:

            • Make sure resolvconf package is not there . We don't install this anymore intentionally. apt remove resolvconf
            • /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink to ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf
            • systemctl status systemd-resolved must be enabled
            • Finally, /etc/systemd/resolved.conf has your preferred DNS servers (quad9 in your case).

            That should be it. After that, host www.cloudron.io should work out of the box.

                I'm still indeed on v7, but I can't update to v8 😞

                  @cylon for v7, cloudron uses unbound. For Cloudron 7, please check this:

                  • /etc/resolv.conf should have nameserver 127.0.0.1
                  • systemctl status unbound should say running
                  • host www.cloudron.io 127.0.0.1 should work

                  systemd-resolved is not used at all. So, you can ignore all those related threads and configs. I would like to understand how it got to this state though? Do you think it tried to upgrade to v8 and end it up in this state?

                    thanks for the help, but this is not urgent, I can wait for the update to the v8 so I won't have to do this change twice 🙂

                      That's possible, I don't remember if I first tried to upgrade to v8 or to change the DNS

                      I updated the /etc/systemd/resolve.conf and only after did I check the /etc/resolv/conf file, I don't know what state it was before I updated /etc/systemd/resolve.conf
