Regular short getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN outages

[girish]

I don't see this in our instance atleast - https://status.cloudron.io . Which TLD are you using?

[mazarian]

Hey thanks for getting back! My TLD is .LA.

[girish]

@mazarian as a way to debug this further, maybe you can add a www.cloudron.io or some other domain (io or com) , to your Uptime Kuma. This well help us narrow if this is a general DNS/network issue or specific to your TLD.

[mazarian]

That's a fantastic idea! I will add it. I ended up migrating it off Cloudron for the time being because I have come to depend on UK for work and all the notifications were bogging me down.

I will restart the old instance to test and will report back what I find out.

I do have the same kind of shortages with uptime kuma. I did add Cloudron to see. Any idea of what is happening ?

I have a dedicated server with hetzner.

@jrl-abstract27 this is to do with the local DNS server (unbound) not resolving . In Cloudron 8 (the next release), we are removing unbound altogether and it will use your network's resolver via systemd-resolved. Maybe this issues gets sorted out with that.

thanks @girish

Hi, i just upgraded to Cloudron 8.0.3, rebooted server and i see Unbound still appears in the services pages, is that normal? does that mean uptime kuma still uses it?

[nebulon]

unbound is still used in Cloudron, but its usage is drastically reduced now. It is used for directly querying the nameservers to check if DNS records are already in-sync to avoid hitting NXDOMAIN for newly installed apps as well as for email DNS record lookup.

The rest now uses whatever the default setup, of the environment the server is running in, is.

[girish]

To conclude what @nebulon said, for Uptime Kuma this means that it uses the system DNS (and not unbound).

[factord]

@girish ouch, i still have the EAI_AGAIN error, i suppose i have to check with uptime kuma then. Any suggestion? maybe our datacenter dns is overloaded and we should use google dns or something like that?

[girish]

@factord right, so this means this is either a local DNS issue or uptime kuma issue. Quick idea is to just set up the server's /etc/resolv.conf with Google DNS maybe and check if it mitigates the issue.
