If port 53 is in use, the installation fails. This issue can occur in default installations of certain operating systems in which `systemd-resolved` (DNS server) or `dnsmasq` is running. To prevent this issue, change the system configuration to make this port available before installation. To prevent `systemd-resolved` from using port 53: 1. Edit `/etc/systemd/resolved.conf`: ```sh sudo vi /etc/systemd/resolved.conf ``` 1. Add `DNSStubListener=no` as the last line in the file and save the file. 1. Rename the current `/etc/resolv.conf` file: ```sh sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.orig ``` 1. Create a symbolic link for `/etc/resolv.conf`: ```sh sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf ``` {{< note >}} You might encounter a temporary name resolution error (`sudo: unable to resolve host {hostname}: Temporary failure in name resolution`), which should be fixed when you restart `systemd-resolved` in the next step. {{< /note >}} 2. Restart the DNS service: ```sh sudo service systemd-resolved restart ``` To prevent `dnsmasq` from using port 53: 1. Stop the `dnsmasq` service if it's running: ```sh sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq ``` 1. Prevent `dnsmasq` from starting automatically at system boot: ```sh sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq ``` 1. Mask `dnsmasq` to prevent it from being started manually or by other services: ```sh sudo systemctl mask dnsmasq ``` 1. Verify `dnsmasq` is no longer active and won't start at system boot: ```sh sudo systemctl status dnsmasq ```
