Ubuntu + zcs8.8.12 dns gets whacked by install

Post by rtkluttz »

I'm trying to do a fresh install of zcs 8.8.12 on Ubuntu 18.04. Before I start the installation, I am getting my dns working and tested which involves killing systemd-resolved and unlinking resolv.conf so I can delete it and put a regular resolv.conf in place. After doing this DNS tests correctly.

Then I start the installation of zcs and everything goes smooth until just before the LDAP installation starts. The zcs install is partially putting back in place the systemd-resolved system and killing DNS which causes the LDAP install to go flaky. Sometimes I can put the real resolv.conf back in place in time before it borks. But in general this doesn't give me confidence that something else isn't getting borked.

Also, I thought it may have possibly been the zimbra dnscache install that was causing this issue. It is not. If I choose to install without dnscache it still puts back in the linked version of resolv.conf and partially kills my DNS.

resolv.conf (correct, before install)

Code: Select all

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 10.1.1.7
resolv.conf (after zcs installation, put back to stock)

Code: Select all

# 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.
# run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers.

nameserver 127.0.0.1

Gave up and just moved DNS to separate machine, which ended up fixing DNS but not fixing the issue that lead me down this path. Starting a new thread for the issue.

Seems to me like you just need to put that nameserver in your netplan config(or /etc/network/interfaces) and use the stock systemd-resolve. Also note that Ubuntu 18.04 is still in beta.
