I have a pihole that keeps appearing as "down" every check when it is absolutely up. I get the error connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.1.1:443 I have no reference to 127.0.1.1 anywhere on the host machine or in my compose.

so I logged into the container for uptime-kuma and pinged the host giving that error and I get this: (domain.com is not the actual domain but I do have a real domain behind a caddy proxy with DNS challenges)

You should google "127.0.1.1 pihole", because there have been a lot of people who have also asked this.

Uptime Kuma's container contains nscd, but I don't think it would modify your DNS records.

I had googled many things and thought I had fixed it by removing all references to 127.0.1.1 but it was still "stuck" in the pihole server somewhere.

A reboot cleared it out and now it's working properly.

to clarify: I remove the 127.0.1.1 entries from the hosts file on the docker host as well as the pihole server and replaced them with the actual IP of each machine.

I guess this is resolved
