Hello everyone,
thanks for all the replies!
When it's not starting is there anything else
listening on UDP or TCP port 53? No, it's not.
Did you tweak the configuration or is it running on
default config? My config was:
net = { '127.0.0.1', '::1',
<my.lan.ip> }
user('knot-resolver','knot-resolver')
cache.size = 4 * GB
modules = { 'stats' }
verbose(false)
I set up net directive according
to:http://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/stable/daemon.html#network-configuration
I've since removed the net directive since I assumed that with socket activation,
it's not necessary to specify addresses within the service but rather within the
socket.
FreeBind=true
This one helped, thanks!
I've rebooted a few times and so far kresd started in 100% cases.
Should I also try 'After=network-online.target' instead of FreeBind? And if it
helps, which of those two is a more proper way to handling this issue?
Thanks again!

After a few reboots I"ve observed that sometimes the service starts OK, sometimes it

From memory "Cannot assign requested address” is when you try to bind to an IP that
isn’t local - so maybe the race condition is between whatever configures your interfaces
and what I starting knot? Presumably there will be a dependency you can declare for knot
to make sure that it doesn’t start before interfaces are up.
HTH,
