I am with YunoHost 4.0.7.1 (stable) on a Kimusfi Server.
My apps are update.
Since migration from Yunohost 3 to Yunohost 4, I have DNSMasq in a failed states and I can’t find why ☹
This is bellow what I have already tried without solving my problem. I was looking toward Bind9 because I already faced this issue when installing for the first time Yunohost of the Debian provided by Kimsufi.
I couldn’t find other possible issue in the forum.

Can you show the output of `journalctl -u dnsmasq -n 100 --no-hostname --no-pager`

I juste made :

Does it means I have AdGuardHome preventing dnsmasq to start ?
EDIT : I removed AdGuard Home and dnsmasq restarted properly.
Problem solved from my side!
Thanks @Aleks to put me on the right track… and have a good day!
