Hello, I keep having the recurring issue shown below - ive had to remove the links bare so bear with me please

Code: Select all

WARNING a few seconds ago Server newshosting will be ignored for 10 minutes
WARNING a few seconds ago Cannot connect to server newshosting [Server name does not resolve]
After 10 minutes it will retry and either block for another 10 minutes, or succeed. If I force unblock (status and interface -> connections -> UNBLOCK) then it will try to reconnect and succeed 90% of the time. If it fails I hit unblock until it connects.

truncated log isn't much more help but shows:

I'm running my whole arr stack through proxmox, standalone ubunutu server vm and docker. I had no issues for around 6 months until the last month or so where this issues pops up. Have flushed DNS on the VM but that hasn't made a difference.

Ideally I'd like to fix whatever is causing the DNS issue, however if I could find the config var to change 10 minutes to 10 seconds that would also work fine.

Thanks.

Yes. Without working DNS, all kinds of strange stuff can happen.
Ugly workaround: fill out in / etc / hosts


If you run from source: change the value here in sanbzbd/downloader.py

_PENALTY_TIMEOUT = 10 # Server doesn't give an answer (multiple times)

Brilliant thank you. Modifying downloader . py has worked perfectly.

Unsure what the core issue is with my DNS, particularly given the intermittent nature of the fault, but hey the work around is great so thank you!!

Cool.

You run from source .... so ... Linux? Then the trick with /etc /hosts might be less ugly, and survives updates

So would that just be mapping the news.newshosting domain name to 85.12.62.251 in hosts?
