Unable to connect internet and search / DNS Issue?

[adam81]

Hi,

So, I've got YAMS installed (great piece of work by the way). I think all of the containers are talking to each other correctly, but I opted to NOT use the gluetun VPN connection. I actually had it working somehow with this configuration before in a prvios iteration, but now for some reason I am unable to even perform searches for movies or tv shows, and nothing is connecting in qbittorrent. My suspicion is that it's an issue with DNS, but I don't know where to go to confirm this and check or change. Does all traffic still run through gluetun, even though I am not using the VPN? I tried seeting the dns to cloudflare ips in that container, but that didn't do the trick.

I have no idea what else I'm missing or where to look, and I'd rather not reinstall if it can be avoided. Do you guys have any ideas as to what the problem may be, or where I should look to try and straighten this out?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

EDIT: By tbe way, I forgot to mention that the gluetun container is clearly not starting up all of the way properly. It's running, but reports as "unhealthy" in Portainer, and does not hold on to an IP address on the yams_default network.

Hey @adam81!

Can you share your docker-compose config in a pastebin? Also, did you edit something manually in Portainer?

Cheers!

Hello I am having pretty much the exact same issue. I also opted to not use a vpn, as i was downloading from usenet.

Setup is Proxmox --> Regular VM --> Yams install script and Docker.
One interesting thing about my setup is that my media directory is a smb share hosted on OMV, on another VM.

Whats odd is that it is intermittent. Some times I am able to connect to my Usenet Provider from SABnzbd and others it can't resolve host. I am almost never able to ping out from the docker container console. I am able to ping out on the VM that is on proxmox. And I am always able to ping out from the proxmox console.

Only difference in my docker compose is i set SABnzdb to have DNS: 1.1.1.1

This might be the problem. You are using a different DNS that's not part of your docker network, so it makes sense for the intermittent issue. Why do you need to manually set the DNS?
