issue with local-stub (homebrew) documentation #45

Closed tijmenvandenbrink closed 5 months ago

tijmenvandenbrink commented 5 months ago

Describe the bug The documentation here mentions the following:

Homebrew[¶](https://unbound.docs.nlnetlabs.nl/en/latest/use-cases/local-stub.html#homebrew)
If you installed Unbound using Homebrew, the XML file required by launchctl is already supplied during installation. The file can be found at /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.unbound.plist. To load this file we invoke the following command.

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.unbound.plist

Now every time you restart your machine, Unbound should restart too.

However this file doesn't exist. In my case it was here:

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/unbound/1.20.0/homebrew.mxcl.unbound.plist

I copied it over to /Library/LaunchDaemons and then performed the command as per the docs. That succeeded.

Thanks for letting us know! Did you install Unbound explicitly or was it already part of the system as a dependency?

gthess commented 5 months ago

From reading a bit online it seems that nowadays after installation you only need to do sudo brew services start unbound and everything will be handled automatically. Can you verify by:

  1. uninstalling unbound
  2. removing the /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.unbound.plist file
  3. installing unbound again
  4. running sudo brew services start unbound
  5. checking that /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.unbound.plist exists.

Worked like a charm! Thanks for the quick reply!

Thanks for verifying, updated that part of the documentation.
