July 24, 20232 yr Unraid 6.12.3 So I followed this guide and got dnsmasq set up on my server. Except I couldn't install or launch dnsmasq because... it was already running. Running `ps -feww | grep dnsmasq` yielded this: UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD nobody 10470 1 0 22:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper root 10471 10470 0 22:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper Ok so I'm guessing that in the intervening 14 years Unraid has added a dnsmasq instance. Printing the contents of the default.conf reveals that libvirt is generating these files automatically. So all this to say: Can I use my Unraid tower as a DHCP/DNS server with dnsmasq or would attempting to do so break libvirt? If I can, what is the most correct way to go about that?

December 29, 20232 yr Anyone have an answer here. I'm keen to use the in-built dnsmasq to assist in setting up netboot.xyz on my local network.
