<p dir="auto">I am not an expert at the area. But I believe cloudron does not need this service.</p>
<p dir="auto">I disabled and mask it in one cloudron instance, until now everything seems to working and <code>sudo systemctl --failed</code> is clean again.</p>
<pre><code>sudo systemctl mask unbound-resolvconf.service
sudo systemctl disable --now unbound-resolvconf.service
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Is this service required for Cloudron, or is it safe to keep masked?</p>
