DNS and connectivity issues
If you encounter DNS or Internet connectivity issues during the Filescan installation process, it is recommended to configure public DNS nameservers (e.g.: 8.8.8.8
or 1.1.1.1
).
If you have a desktop installation, you may configure the DNS settings using the NetworkManager GUI.
If you have a server installation without a desktop environment, you can run the following commands:
x
# Check your current DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Install resolveconf and set 8.8.8.8 as primary DNS server
sudo apt update
sudo apt install resolvconf
echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' | sudo tee /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
# Update /etc/resolv.conf using resolveconf
sudo resolvconf -u
# Check the updated DNS settings
cat /etc/resolv.conf
If everything went well, you should see something like this (8.8.8.8
should be the first nameserver in the list):
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0 trust-ad
Please also check your DNS settings in a Docker container (8.8.8.8
should be the first nameserver):
sudo docker container run --rm busybox cat /etc/resolv.conf
