Tutorial problem with dnsmasq #25

Closed alohl669 closed 1 year ago

There is something wrong with the tutorial. When you start dnsmasq you could have a problem because you never create the /home/$USER/.maza/dnsmasq.conf file.

not even root user.

PS, for the tutorial: On debian you could have problems installing dnsmasq because systemctl-resolve uses port 53. You can resolve adding this line DNSStubListener=no to /etc/systemd/resolved.conf file

Hello! The path you are using is wrong, it is created inside (user path)/.config/maza/dnsmasq.conf. Where in the tutorial is this route indicated? I can't find it.

I see, it's the tutorial on how to build your own pi-hole. Thanks for the tip 😄

Exactly, I'm using this tutorial because I want to test in a VPS that I have, and the tutorial indicates that we can use something like that.

By the way, Thanks for clarifying the path, just one more thing, when you use this tutorial, you use sudo maza update which means that you can save explanations about user and put directly /root/.config/maza

You are welcome! That's right, I personally run it with root so everything is in the /root/ folder
