The reason you want a local resolved address is because: You can take a public domain, but I advise to use a custom domain setup in your DNS resolver to always reply the same IP. The first thing we want to do is to setup a DNS sensor, this can be done with the dnsip sensor integration sensor:īy default it refreshes the DNS resolve results every 120 seconds, that would be a bit long if DNS goes down so I reduced my sensor to 60 seconds. Setting up the automation to reboot the DNS if resolving goes down.Whilst I should really be fixing the issue itself (something to do with QUICK) and this being “not really the way to do things” sometimes necessity goes above anything else. I have to manually restart the container, and with home assistant being an automation platform, it made me want to automate this task too. At times for an unknown reason, my AdGuard docker instance running on home assistant operating system stops responding, it ignores all queries sent to it.
