DNS stopped working

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi, I hope I chose the right category to start this topic. If not so, I’m sorry.
Yesterday, my Home Assistant lost the ability to connect to the internet - all of sudden. I tried to restore an older backup - no result. I’m attaching logs from Supervisor and DNS. Can someone help me, please?

Home Assistant version: 0.117.1
Platform: RPi 4

Supervisor log:

I’m doing a fresh install of the image on a pi 3b and it won’t boot for me either so here’s hoping you find an answer.

Hello,

I got exactly the same issue with the same dns logs. For me the consequences are that HACS won’t restart neither all integration requiring network (cozytouch for me).
What is strange is that the hassio_dns container is recreated and started continuously :

I just updated to hassio 0.117.2

I resolved the issue by deleting the container hassio_dns with

sudo docker image rm -f <id_of_hassio_dns_image>

Then I pull an old image of the hassio_dns with

sudo docker pull homeassistant/armv7-hassio-dns:9

I then go to the hassio supervisor page and click on update.
Then I restarted the homeassistant version

This Supervisor update fixed it (after reboot): https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/releases/tag/2020.10.1

FYI: At least my issue posted in the link is unfortunatelly not fixed by @James-CZ solution…

I found out my issue which occured at the same time was due to HA getting io errors on the 128gb microsd card I had installed which is strange given I pulled it from an asus phone where it’s been working fine for over a year. I put a 32gb “purple” microsd intended for a security cam into the pi and HA came up without issue. The only annoying part is every tutorial kept telling me to do a “remote install”…it was only when I hooked up a monitor they assured me I didn’t need that I could see the issue. Something to keep in mind for others encountering weird errors.

I found I didn’t like the docker arrangement because I wanted to add homebridge which has been “abandoned” so I’ going to install Raspian (or whatever they call it now) and do manual installs of both in python venv’s.
