    Hi,
    I have a multiserver setup with 4 servers - www, mail, db and dns on Ubuntu 18.04. Everything looks fine except operations on DNS server.
    If I make some change in domains' DNS, it takes more then 10 minutes to process. I have already setup DEBUG mode. In ispconfig.log on dns server I can see these records:
    Code:

    There is probably only one interesting thing:
    Code:
    DNSSEC ERROR: We are low on entropy. This could cause server script to fail. Please consider installing package haveged.
    But I have haveged installed.
    If I switch off DNSSEC, dns operations are at normal speed.
    Can someone help me with this?
    Thank a lot in advance.

    OK, so I have probably an answer. I have this dns server installed in a linux container (lxc) and it seems haveged won't work here.
    Is there any way how to get entropy without haveged?
    If not, I will install dns into KVM where it should work.

    Check with your vps host and see if they will install haveged in the host environment.

    Problem is with writing into the file /proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold which is read only on lxc.
