dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address already in use

Ubuntu 19:10: systemd-resolved blocks port 53 and thereby preventing any service using port 53 (like dnsmasq) from starting

Verify that the port is used by systemd-resolve

jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$ sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LIST

 apache2   1707        www-data    4u  IPv6  27900      0t0  TCP *:80 (LISTEN)

Stop the service

jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$ sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved

Edit the systemd-resolved config file

 jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
 jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$ cat !$ | grep DNS
 cat /etc/systemd/resolved.conf | grep DNS
 DNS=8.8.8.8
 FallbackDNS=
 MulticastDNS=no
 DNSSEC=no
 DNSOverTLS=no
 DNSStubListener=no
 jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$

Create symlink to /etc/resolv.conf

jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$ sudo ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

Start systemd-resolved service

jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$ sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved

Start dnsmasq

jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$ sudo systemctl start dnsmasq
jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$
jonas@ubuntupxe02:~$ sudo systemctl status dnsmasq
