nginx resolv.conf is pointing to my pihole's IP
reddit / selfhosted

I'm still trying to open my setup to the internet, I followed IBRACORP
guides and many others, and I always reach the same outcome: 502
errors. I'm using duckdns.

I realized that my nginx resolv.conf file it's pointing to mi pihole,
where I did try to set A and CNAME records but I keep getting the 502
errors.

```
A -> myserver.duckdns.org
CNAME -> heimdall.myserver.duckdns.org
```

What am I doing wrong? Where should resolv.conf point to? What if I
bite the bullet and buy a domain? Where should it point then?

At this point I think that's my issue, because I'm doing everything
else exactly like the guides say and it's getting frustrating.

Thank you for your help!

Not sure why you think your server pointing to your correct DNS server
is somehow causing issues.

Your server's DNS resolution has nothing to do with opening the server
to the internet.

Then I'm at a complete loss why I keep getting error 502.

Could you give more info? Where are the clients that are getting 502,
within the same network or external? Have you set up the sub domains
with duckdns? Does nginx have both domains set up? Can you get to
myserver.duckdns.org or neither?

I could never take anything they say seriously after that video on
their home page.
