- Remove `DNS_SERVER` (aka DOT) option: the DNS server forwarder part is now always enabled (see below why)
- Remove `DNS_KEEP_NAMESERVER`: the container will always use the built-in DNS server forwarder, because it can handle now local names with local resolvers (see #2970), it can use the `plain` upstream type (see https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/commit/5ed6e8292278b54bb5081de0e8ccd0d63a275b3c) AND you can use `DNS_UPSTREAM_PLAIN_ADDRESSES` (see below)
- Replace `DNS_ADDRESS` with `DNS_UPSTREAM_PLAIN_ADDRESSES`:
- New CSV format with port, for example `ip1:port1,ip2:port2`
- requires `DNS_UPSTREAM_TYPE=plain` to be set to use `DNS_UPSTREAM_PLAIN_ADDRESSES` (unless using retro `DNS_ADDRESS`)
- retrocompatibility with `DNS_ADDRESS`. If set, force upstream type to plain and empty user-picked providers. 127.0.0.1 is now ignored since it's always set to this value internally.
- Warning log on using private upstream resolvers updated
- Warning log if using a private IP address for the plain DNS server which is not in your local subnets
All in all, this greatly simplifies code and available options (less options for the same features is a win). It also allows you to specify multiple plain DNS resolvers on ports other than 53 if needed.
- Migrate `DOT` to `DNS_SERVER`
- Migrate `DOT_PROVIDERS` to `DNS_UPSTREAM_RESOLVERS`
- Migrate `DOT_PRIVATE_ADDRESS` to `DNS_PRIVATE_ADDRESSES`
- Migrate `DOT_CACHING` to `DNS_CACHING`
- Migrate `DOT_IPV6` to `DNS_UPSTREAM_IPV6`
- No point periodically fetch the public IP address. Could not find anything mentioning why this was added.
- Simplification of the publicip loop code
- `PUBLICIP_ENABLED` (on, off) can be set to enable or not public ip data fetching on VPN connection
- `PUBLICIP_PERIOD=0` still works to indicate to disable public ip fetching
- `PUBLICIP_PERIOD` != 0 means to enable public ip fetching
- Warnings logged when using `PUBLICIP_PERIOD`
- Faster start up
- Clearer error messages
- Allow for more Gluetun-specific customization
- DNSSEC validation is dropped for now (it's sort of unneeded)
- Fix#137
- `STORAGE_FILEPATH=` disables storing to and reading from a local servers.json file
- `STORAGE_FILEPATH` defaults to `/gluetun/servers.json`
- Fix#2074
- Disallow setting a server filter when there is no choice available
- Allow setting an invalid server filter when there is at least one choice available
- Log at warn level when an invalid server filter is set
- Fix#2337
- settings: get filter choices from storage for settings validation
- updater: update servers to the storage
- storage: minimal deep copying and data duplication
- storage: add merged servers mutex for thread safety
- connection: filter servers in storage
- formatter: format servers to Markdown in storage
- PIA: get server by name from storage directly
- Updater: get servers count from storage directly
- Updater: equality check done in storage, fix#882
- Better settings tree structure logged using `qdm12/gotree`
- Read settings from environment variables, then files, then secret files
- Settings methods to default them, merge them and override them
- `DNS_PLAINTEXT_ADDRESS` default changed to `127.0.0.1` to use DoT. Warning added if set to something else.
- `HTTPPROXY_LISTENING_ADDRESS` instead of `HTTPPROXY_PORT` (with retro-compatibility)
