Disable bookmark URL lookups

Open agneevX opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Whenever I launch Homer, it does DNS lookups for all bookmarks listed.

Can this be disabled? I already have connectivityCheck: false in my config.

With this enabled, and when bookmarks (apps) are offline, there's no difference.

Hi @agneevX

Sorry for the very late reply. Homer is not supposed to do DNS lookup for all bookmarks, how do you see that ? Homer is just generating the list of HTML links.

Hello!

If you use Pi-hole or similar, you will notice that there's a deluge of lookups for all the bookmarks when homer is loaded up. I'm not sure what causes it.

Maybe it's your browser doing pre-emptive DNS lookups to prime its cache?

From what I see, browser dns pre-fetch is only done if configured, which is not the case, but it's something else :thinking:

@agneevX Have you upgraded to the latest Homer release? The latest version include a major upgrade of the base framework which power the dashboard, the behaviors may have changed? also do you see it with any browser or one specific?

I just found this issue on my Homer setup. Its container is connected trough macvlan with its own ip addres, so its easy confirm dns query source. In my setup Homer is monitored by Uptime Kuma trough HTTP GET every few minutes. And here are my DNS queries by ip (red is Homer): obraz

Edit: Forgot to mention, updated to homer:latest about an hour ago, it's still querying.
