dohnut.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

[realknotworking]

Hi. Trying to get this working on a Rasperry Pi 3 B+ running the latest Raspian OS. Followed the instructions for setting up Dohnut with systemd (https://help.commons.host/dohnut/systemd/), systemctl status dohnut.socket shows the socket is active, systemctl status dohnut.service shows the status as "activating" (rather than active):

$ systemctl status dohnut.service
● dohnut.service - Dohnut DNS over HTTPS proxy
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/dohnut.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: activating (start) since Wed 2021-02-03 11:35:25 EST; 1s ago
 Main PID: 23024 (node)
    Tasks: 7 (limit: 2063)
   CGroup: /system.slice/dohnut.service
           └─23024 npm

Test dig fails with:

$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p 53000 example.com

Any ideas what the problem might be?

I wonder if the file descriptor being collected here is meant for the parent; the socket activation library is complaining that the pid provided by systemd is a mismatch with the current process's pid. cc @sebdeckers

Thank you qoelet for the quick reply. I still have it installed, I'd be happy to tweak the code on my Pi to see if we can get it running.

[qoelet]

@realknotworking could you share what's in /etc/dohnut/options.json?

[realknotworking]

This is what it installed

{
  "doh": ["commonshost"],
  "bootstrap": ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8", "9.9.9.9"],
  "countermeasures": ["spoof-queries", "spoof-useragent"],
  "datagram-protocol": "udp4"
}

@realknotworking thanks. I managed to get my hands on an old RPi 3, let me see if I can reproduce the issue over the weekend.

Okay, thanks for staying after it.
