  • Set up Pi-hole with your own recursive DNS server using DNSSEC
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jan 2022
    On the choice of DNS forwarder: Unbound is very configurable and reliable. I went down this rabbit hole recently and decided I wanted a DNS "shotgunner" as latency to a single upstream source had a wide distribution.

    Simply, you issue multiple DNS requests and take the fastest one. I use 9 different DNS servers over TLS. This is a bit excessive, two is enough most of the time.

    I'm tempted to write my own DNS forwarder but this project is working well for me: https://github.com/mikispag/dns-over-tls-forwarder

  • Podman v4.4, Buildah v1.29 released!
    4 projects | /r/podman | 9 Feb 2023
    But wait! There’s more. This week both netavark and aardvark-dns released version 1.5.0. Netavark now includes support for IPVLAN. And aardvark-dns was rebuilt with updated libraries at the very heart of its primary functionality.
  • Issue with internal DNS lookup using nginx proxy manager and podman
    1 project | /r/nginxproxymanager | 28 Dec 2022
    It would appear this is a known issue with the new networking stack
  • Podman v4.0 has been released!
    3 projects | /r/podman | 23 Feb 2022
    Podman now features support for a new network stack based on Netavark and Aardvark, in addition to the existing CNI stack. The new stack features improved support for containers in multiple networks, improved IPv6 support, and improved performance. To ensure that we don’t break existing users, the old CNI stack will remain the default on existing installations, while new installs will use Netavark. We’re planning an in-depth dive into the networking changes in a future blog, so look forward to more details there!
