Describe the issue you are experiencing

Downloaded and imaged HAOS 11.4 for pi 4b.

Have not connected a blue cable to the pi, and journalctl -f, shows dockerd trying to resolve checkonlinehome-assistantio (markup added) from 8.8.{4.4,8.8}:53

Can HAOS not tell google i'm running it out-of-the-box? Or could this be because it does not have a dns from DHCP yet?

What operating system image do you use?

rpi4-64 (Raspberry Pi 4/400 64-bit OS)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

11.4

Did you upgrade the Operating System.

No

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Image sd card
2. Boot sd card
3. At console after, init, altF2
4. Run journalctl -f
5. Observe logged entries trying to resolve via google.

Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

None. The system is letterally just dd'd to the sd-card.

Anything in the Host logs that might be useful for us?

None

Home Assistant should respect the DNS server provided by your DHCP.

Can you check the DNS configuration reported by nmcli?

Hi Agners, thankyou for responding. I can confirm, no address is available on end0. I am yet to connect a network - I hope I mentioned this in the original ticket.

Do you see the dns lookup logs in journalctl when following the steps to reproduce the issue?

Could be non-private defaults as indicated in resolved.conf ...

[freezurbern]

Perhaps its the default in Docker?

If the container can't reach any of the IP addresses you specify, it uses Google's public DNS server at 8.8.8.8. This allows containers to resolve internet domains.

From https://docs.docker.com/network/#dns-services

Much as the industry has adopted principles like 'fail-safe' and 'fail secure', perhaps the product should fail-private?

Home Assistant should respect the DNS server provided by your DHCP.

In Fact, it does only 50%, as it has a hard-coded DNS.

At least, there seems to be possibility to disable it: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/improve-privacy-stop-using-hardcoded-dns/273496/86 https://www.home-assistant.io/more-info/unsupported/dns_server/
