Unbound frequent restarts

interesting, can you please check /etc/resolvconf.conf

mine contains the following:

# Configuration for resolvconf(8)
# See resolvconf.conf(5) for details

resolv_conf=/etc/resolv.conf
# If you run a local name server, you should uncomment the below line and
# configure your subscribers configuration files below.
#name_servers=127.0.0.1

# Mirror the Debian package defaults for the below resolvers
# so that resolvconf integrates seemlessly.
dnsmasq_resolv=/var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf
pdnsd_conf=/etc/pdnsd.conf
unbound_conf=/var/cache/unbound/resolvconf_resolvers.conf
  • never mind the dnsmasq entry, dnsmasq was installed before pihole-FTL disables it.
  • it contains an entry for unbound (is this the culprit?)

the entry points to /var/cache/unbound/resolvconf_resolvers.conf. that file contains:

# Generated by resolvconf

forward-zone:
	name: "localdomain"
	forward-addr: the IP v6 address of my pihole - masked for privacy

forward-zone:
	name: "."
	forward-addr: the IP v6 address of my pihole - masked for privacy

please check this...

DL6ER and Bucking_Horn, please advise...
