I just have tried with
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-disable-resovl.conf
[main]
dns=none
in a VM and it just works. I edited /etc/resolv.conf and
NetworkManager does not override it. I have no idea what is wrong in
Pocket's case, perhaps a typo or another config file with higher
priority. I would check
What version of NetworkManager is installed with bullseye?
Maybe a newer version is broken?
NetworkManager --print-config
Didn't show me anything unexpected.
This particular instance was installed as bullseye in minimal
configuration. NetworkManager was added later and enp0s2 originally
was managed by ifupdown. I edited /etc/network/interfaces to allow
NetworkManager to take control of it. Later it was upgraded to bookworm.
Overriding DNS servers for each connection is another viable approach.
I admit that NetworkManager has issues and limitations, its GUI
applets have even more bugs and expose quite limited set of
preferences, but this tool still works in simple cases and convenient
in the case of laptops.
P.S. I do not see any reason to insist on NetworkManager in the case
of a box which role is a DNS server for a local network. ifupdown
should be sufficient. There is no need to detect cable plug/unplug
events, to switch between connection configurations depending on
current location or other circumstances.
I would normally not use NetworkManager on a server system either, but
in this case NetworkManager is installed on all the bookworm
installation so in this case I choose to work with it instead of
removing it.
