The cache size is set in /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf. However, note that this setting does not survive Pi-hole updates. If you want to change the cache size permanently, add a setting
nano /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf
CACHE_SIZE=1000000
nano /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf
run pihole -r (Repair) to get the cache size changed for you automatically.
nano /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf
CACHE_SIZE=1000000
Set load rate limit 0 0
Sets 2 GB swap

chmod 0600 /swapfile
swapon /swapfile

You need Java 11 or later to run YaCy and ant to build YaCy. This would install the requirements on debian:
sudo apt-get install ant git
git config --global core.compression 0
To use the Corretto Apt repositories on Debian-based systems, such as Ubuntu, import the Corretto public key and then add the repository to the system list by using the following commands:
apt install gnupg && sudo apt install gnupg1
wget -O - https://apt.corretto.aws/corretto.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/corretto-keyring.gpg && \
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/corretto-keyring.gpg] https://apt.corretto.aws stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/corretto.list
After the repo has been added, you can install Corretto 17 by running this command:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y java-17-amazon-corretto-jdk
Then clone the repository and build the application:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server.git
cd yacy_search_server
ant clean all
To start YaCy, run
./startYACY.sh
Set yacy's admin passwd
bin/passwd.sh
nano /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
does not survive reboot but works.
Open the systemd-resolved configuration file for editing using a text editor like nano or vi. On most systems, this file is located at /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. You may need superuser privileges to edit this file, so use sudo:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
Add the Nameserver:
In the configuration file, you can specify the DNS servers using the DNS directive. If the directive does not exist, you can add it. If it already exists, you can append additional DNS servers to it.
[Resolve]
DNS=127.0.0.1
After editing the configuration file, you should restart the systemd-resolved service for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
Verify the Changes:
You can verify that your custom nameservers are in use by querying systemd-resolved for DNS information. Use the systemd-resolve command to check:
sudo resolvectl status
