Question regarding Usage #78

Closed mutiny1 closed 6 years ago

mutiny1 commented 6 years ago

My current setup looks nothing like this iteration, I use pfSense to forward the DNS requests to the lancache IP(s). Does this particular setup handle all the DNS traffic and internally forward to the vIP of the cache? Or do I still use pfSense to forward to this box?

Hi Mutiny1,

You can continue to use pfsense for your dns and redirect certain domains to the lancache ip's. As pfsense is using unbound standard config you could copy the config from in here in to your advanced pfsense; there is a text entry field somewhere, just c/p it in there and should work...

Just don't forget to modify the ips.

Excellent! Exactly what I did, took the unbound.conf and reformatted for structure and put into pfSense. It runs great on 16.04 LTS. Thanks for your excellent work, I did however run into issues with the script installer, it was minor but frustrating at first. The /etc/network/interfaces starts off good, then half way it drops the last octet from the VIPs; then the last 4 VIPs are just missing the IP altogether. Do you want me to run the script again and really document my experience (and fixes) and open another case?

how old is the installer ? what line on the install script?

thanks

Taken from : https://github.com/bntjah/lc-installer 1) git clone -b master --recursive http://github.com/bntjah/lc-installer/ 2) cd lc-installer 3) chmod +x installer.sh 4) ./installer.sh Didn't check the unbound.conf until this morning, but it looked similar to the /etc/network/interfaces file. unbound.conf.txt Scroll down to last 10 lines. They are missing the IP for A record.

it should pull from the hosts file once setup

I figured that, but in checking the hostfile it appears correct. hosts.txt

mutiny1 commented 6 years ago

I should clarify something. I did not edit the script in any way. I ran the 5 steps listed and then fixed issues as they arose.

  1. networking is dead since the interface file is missing IP's --easy fix (just filled in blanks as needed),
  2. lancache service does not come up clean (i think it comes up before all the VIPs OR before my /srv/lancache/data is mounted) systemctl status lancache.service
    CacheLogs.txt
  3. waiting 30 sec and manually starting systemctl start lancache.service seems to be fine. CacheLogs_wait.txt

If you think this is because I'm using Ubuntu Srv 16.04LTS and not Debian 8.7.x then don't waste time on this.
