Unbound VS DietPi

dnsmasq and unbound are impacted to

https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/releases/tag/release-1....

https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/20...

As are any other DNSSEC validators that followed the specifications.

Bind9 has its problems but this is not its fault this time.

Are you familiar with https://pi-hole.net/ ?

In my house I want DNS resolution to be performed by my own DNS resolver (https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound), after I block ad domains.

DoH circumvents that.

So yep it's an unbound thing: https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/issues/438 there was a PR to allow a user to change the depth of a chase. I doubt F5 would have that version of unbound in any current software but support may be able to check or look at a lab 17.1 to see what version it is--you could then manually edit the conf file but it wouldn't persist through upgrades..

That's confirms in issue#362 I found.

The last time I checked, Unbound does not support upstream DoH. You can configure it to reply to DoH requests from clients, but you can't use it to forward queries to another DoH provider like Cloudflare or Quad9. Has that changed? The pull request has been open for 3 years.

And, while the documentation for unbound.conf doesn’t say a whole lot about the iterator module specifically as far as I can tell, the code says:

Gravity-Sync won't do that. But searching around on GH, I found this : https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/blob/master/contrib/unbound_cache.sh

DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.

The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi

That's a good point, but the array of devices supported by the DietPi team is extensive: https://dietpi.com/

Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.

Those projects are well worth a contribution, as they don't have a giant like Broadcom behind them.

> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor

This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

RPi OS = diet pi https://dietpi.com/ - initial config via text file - SDcard burning out partially mitigated as writes log files to ram then flushes to SDcard reducing write cycles

You could also try very minimalistic distros like TwisterUI or DietPi which are most known for their use in the RasprebbyPi / SBC computers but which also have editions for desktop / laptop.
