[SOLVED] Unbound DNS - doesn't start after patching

Hello Forums!

I patched my Arch systems the other night and discovered my unbound DNS would not start.

Error was: fatal error: sd_notify failed /run/systemd/notify: No such file or directory. Make sure that unbound has access/permission to use the socket presented by systemd  (as seen with journcalctl -f)

Running unbound as root from the command line worked.  systemctl start unbound did not.

I have reinstalled an old /lib/systemd/system/unbound.service file (shown below) and was able to get systemd to start unbound successfully.  This one is quite a bit different than the new service file.  I'm not done isolating the issue - but thought I would post this on the off chance it would help someone's DNS to get going.

my own /lib/systemd/system/unbound.service file ( must systemctl reload-daemon after editing)

[Unit]
Description=Unbound DNS Resolver
Wants=nss-lookup.target
Before=network-online.target nss-lookup.target
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/unbound
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Goodevening,

I had the same problem.
When compare files in /etc/unbound, I saw new option absent in my unbound.conf.

$ diff unbound.conf.pacnew unbound.conf
2c2
<   chroot: ""
...

I add this line in my unbound.conf and restart the service.

No problem anymore.


Regards,

Re: [SOLVED] Unbound DNS - doesn't start after patching

CQ - your chroot method works perfectly (better than my old config) - and is of course hinted at by the unbound.conf.pacnew file which I should have seen anyway.

Thanks for your post.
