I have configured lxd on two different laptops both running Ubuntu 18.04. I followed the same article to configure container DNS on both systems:
On one of the systems, container DNS continues to work. It has the following dnsmasq processes:
Working container DNS:
james@james-ThinkPad-X250:~$ ps -ef|grep dnsm

Not working:
james@t480:/opt/sp/sysops/ansible/playbooks/gce/generic/vpn-gw$ ps -ef|grep dnsm
lxd 24006 1 0 10:54 ? 00:00:01 dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/lib/lxd/networks/lxdbr0/dnsmasq.pid --except-interface=lo --interface=lxdbr0 --quiet-dhcp --quiet-dhcp6 --quiet-ra --listen-address=10.0.3.1 --dhcp-no-override --dhcp-authoritative --dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/lxd/networks/lxdbr0/dnsmasq.leases --dhcp-hostsfile=/var/lib/lxd/networks/lxdbr0/dnsmasq.hosts --dhcp-range 10.0.3.2,10.0.3.253,1h --listen-address=fd98:9e0:3744::1 --enable-ra --dhcp-range ::,constructor:lxdbr0,ra-stateless,ra-names -s lxd -S /lxd/ --conf-file=/var/lib/lxd/networks/lxdbr0/dnsmasq.raw -u lxd
I’ve tried manually running the missing process to no avail. If I reboot the T480, containers can resolve DNS for a minute or two. Any ideas or better ways for doing this?
