[SOLVED] Podman won't start Pihole with an error saying that it can't bind to port 53, as it is already in use, but nothing is using port 53. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Ahhh... very good. I avoided all this by running Pihole on its own IP on the LAN using a bridged interface from the host.

This post from Stack Exchange might help you, switching 80 for 53, of course.

You don't need UDP on port 80 forwarded through. HTTP is TCP only.

Nextcloud does all of this.

Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Yes but it's hard work.

I did it from the other side of the planet. I accidentally ran an rm -rf ... command on a running system. Luckily I had an identical system running that I could use to copy over the files, devices, etc.

Learning about inodes and /proc/xxx/fd works, I was able to recover enough files to then copy over the rest from the other system.

Doing it over SSH from the other side of the world was a tough 14 hours.
