1. The problem I’m having:
When trying to get a certificate via acme from LE using dns challenge, caddy queries localhost instead of the DNS set in /etc/resolv.conf. As localhost has no process listening on port 53, this fails.
I tried to force the use of cgo using export GODEBUG=netdns=cgo+1 but got
go package net: cgo resolver not supported; using Go's DNS resolver
I then tried to get debug info from the go resolver using export GODEBUG=netdns=go+1. But all I got was go package net: GODEBUG setting forcing use of Go's resolver and no other debug info.
2. Error messages and/or full log output:
