====== Ubuntu - etc - resolv.conf - Disabling systemd-resolved ======

If you’re running Ubuntu 16.10 or later, your DNS resolution will be managed by the systemd-resolved service.

You can disable this service without any further ado using the following commands.

<code bash>
systemctl disable --now systemd-resolved.service
rm /etc/resolv.conf
</code>

See [[Ubuntu:etc:resolv.conf:Opting-out of NetworkManager|Opting-out of NetworkManager]], as it may step in automatically to handle the resolv.conf file after you remove it.
