  • Still waiting for my success. Pihole randomly doesn’t answer DNS requests in time, causing a lot of trouble between my services. It’s happening since I switched to dnsmasq in opnsense (which is upstream for my local domain for Pihole), but also for external domains. Can’t nail it down and am this short of reconsidering my whole network setup. It used to work fine for over a year though…

    Opnsense dnsmasq is DHCP for my servers and also resolves them as local hosts. (e.g. server1.local.domain) and Pihole conditionally forwards there. Since the issue is also when resolving external domains, it shouldn’t be related, but the timing is suspicious. I also switched the general upstream DNS.

    Pihole does have some logs indicating too many concurrent requests, but those are not always correlating with the timeouts.

    I know it’s DNS, I just don’t know where yet.











  • I used to host DokuWiki at some point but I inherited it and never really got into it. Maybe I should give it another try. It was also a native install and I found the updating mechanism to be annoying, but that should be solved with containers.

    I’m using Bookstack as well to document my private stuff but it’s not what I’m looking for.










  • Könnte man ja evtl mal als Anlass sehen, von Martin Hetzner, deutscher Milliardär, Abstand zu nehmen.

    Welche kleineren, vielleicht sogar genossenschaftlichen/kollektiven Hoster sind empfehlenswert? Finde bei Hetzner vor allem die Auto Backups und Netzwerkfirewall sehr angenehm für VPS.
