How and why (not) to use the 127.0.0.53 nameserver, systemd-resolved and resolvctl Or what is systemd-resolved and how it is integrated on Ubuntu

Resolved is a local, caching, DNS nameserver resolver and is used by default on Ubuntu. This talk's goals is to de-mystify how it works and what it does by default on Ubuntu, and how one can further configure it to either not get in the way, or do even more cool things. We will discuss how it can be used (nss, dbus, over the network, command-line, text-configs) and how to configure it (config files, command line, resolvconf, dbus, networkd, network-manager). We will cover advanced use cases for per-interface nameservers, true split-dns configuration, and optional features such as DNSSEC MDNS Zeroconf. Last we will discuss bugs, DNS violations and diss captive portals. Talk outline 

= Fantastic DNS records and where to find them = 

Demystifying systemd-resolved and how it is integrated on Ubuntu 

== What is systemd-resolved? == 


Local, caching nameserver resolver
Nss-module, dbus-interface, command-line tool, networked daemon
Per-connection nameservers



== How can one integrate systemd-resolved on the system? == 


Nss
Resolv.conf symlinks



== How to update resolved nameservers == 


Netplan.io / NetworkManager / Networkd
Dbus
Systemd-resolved / Resolvctl
Resolvconf
Read resolv.conf



== Ubuntu defaults == 


Things we do by default
Divergent defaults from upstream applied



== Fun stuff == 


Dnssec
Mdns
Zeroconf
Split DNS ~



== Bugs == 


Edns0 is sad
Captive portals are sad
Abuse of Option 15 for multiple domains
MDNS taking too long
Domain-less searches are not forwarded
