Unable to set CLI configs in UniFi OS / UCG-Fiber

Hi there!

Just got my UCG-Fiber and was able to install the NextDNS CLI without an issues. I was able to see analytics and ads were being blocked, YAY!

The only thing I am having an issue is setting certain configs via CLI. Below is the current config on the UCG-Fiber:

root@Cloud-Gateway-Fiber:~# nextdns config
discovery-dns
detect-captive-portals false
max-inflight-requests 256
listen localhost:53
cache-size 1000
report-client-info true
bogus-priv true
setup-router true
log-queries false
cache-max-age 0s
hardened-privacy false
profile (Redacted)
use-hosts true
timeout 5s
auto-activate false
debug false
control /var/run/nextdns.sock
max-ttl 5s
mdns all
root@Cloud-Gateway-Fiber:~#

What I would like to change is:

-cache-max-age 3600s (1 hour)

-log-queries true

-auto-activate true

-max-ttl 30s

 

I've tried:

nextdns config set \
  -cache-size 2MB \
  -cache-max-age 3600s \
  -log-queries \
  -auto-activate true \
  -max-ttl 30s

-and-

nextdns config set cache-max-age 3600s
nextdns config set log-queries true
nextdns config set auto-activate true
nextdns config set cache-size 2MB

But I keept getting an error message 'Error: usage:'. I've tried looking all over the net but I might not be looking in the right places.

Thank you for the help!

 

Best regards!

    Actually this has been resolved, for some reason the set commands are now working.. weird!!!

    root@Apartment-Cloud-Network:~# nextdns config
    hardened-privacy false
    timeout 5s
    max-inflight-requests 256
    debug false
    mdns all
    setup-router true
    log-queries true
    cache-size 2MB
    cache-max-age 1h0m0s
    report-client-info true
    discovery-dns
    bogus-priv true
    use-hosts true
    listen localhost:53
    profile xxxxxx
    max-ttl 5m0s
    detect-captive-portals false
    auto-activate true
    control /var/run/nextdns.sock
    root@Apartment-Cloud-Network:~#

      You didn't quite get the set command correct, it's missing the "=" character.

      Example:

      nextdns config set -auto-activate=true

      When you want to set a value to an option you need to write the command in this way, no wonder it complained.

      Anyway, this is just for your reference since you've got things working.

      Thank you for replying :)

      Interestingly enough, to enable a config I didn't need to add the =true. Now to disabled, I bet we would def need the =false. 

      Haven't tried it yet because everything is working oh so great right now. 😉

      This is how I enabled/tweaked the following configs:

      root@Cloud-Gateway-Fiber:~# nextdns config set -auto-activate
      root@Cloud-Gateway-Fiber:~# nextdns config set -log-queries
      root@Cloud-Gateway-Fiber:~# nextdns config set -max-ttl 30s
      root@Cloud-Gateway-Fiber:~# nextdns config set -cache-size 2MB
      root@Cloud-Gateway-Fiber:~# nextdns config set -cache-max-age 3600s

       

      Nonetheless, thank you for the reference! :)
