DNS on Ubuntu 18.04
For years it’s been simple to set up DNS on a Linux machine. Just add a couple of entries to /etc/resolv.conf
and you’re done.
# Use Google‘s public DNS servers.
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8
But things change and now it’s not that simple. If you now edit /etc/resolv.conf
on Ubuntu you’ll find that the edits are ephemeral. If you restart (or even hibernate) your machine then they’ll be overwritten by default content.
nameserver 127.0.0.53
search Home
This is pretty simple to fix though.
-
Install the
resolvconf
package.sudo apt install resolvconf
-
Edit
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
and add the following:# Make edits to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head. nameserver 8.8.4.4 nameserver 8.8.8.8
-
Restart the
resolvconf
service.sudo service resolvconf restart
Fix should be permanent.
