Sonarr/Radarr: DNS Name Resolution Failure: 'umbrel.local'

Support and Troubleshooting
1

Hello!
I’m trying to add some indexers on Sonarr/Radarr, but I get a DNS error on both of them:

Unable to connect to indexer, please check your DNS settings and ensure IPv6 is working or disabled.
Name does not resolve (umbrel.local:9117)

My /etc/resolv.conf looks like this:

# Generated by resolvconf
domain lan
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver fe80::1%eth0

This is a fresh install of Umbrel OS. I just downloaded Sonarr from the store and trited to add the indexer. I havent installed PiHole.

Anyone have any idea on how I could fix this?

Seems to be a problem related to a Windows machine I had here. Dunno the exact reason, but everything works fine on my Linux machine, I have no DNS problem on it.

im not sure what your setup here was, but i think in this case the mDNS you want is probably jackett_server_1:9117 not umbrel.local:9117

I had to replace umbrel.local with my local IP. In my case 192.168.99.155.
This is by far not a definitive fix, but did the trick for now.
In my case, it is a fresh Umbrel 1.1.1 install.

I have no idea why but this fixed my issue, thank you smolgrrr
