How to flush the DNS cache on Solus?

skib

Hello,
I need to to flush the DNS cache to be able to reach a website which has been moved to another server.
How would I do that on Solus Linux?

Solus is using systemd like most modern Linux distributions, so it would be:
sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches

bvdlingen Another great command cut and pasted into my maintenance log. Thank you.

bvdlingen What if I get this in return?
Failed to flush caches: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found.
Shouldn't that be configured out of the box? Perhaps now on Solus 4.1 it's different?

FunkyloverOne This happened to me, too. This is because solus did not enable the systemresolve service.
You have to manually enable it via systemctl (I think).

I wouldn't worry about it. From what I read, enabling it may make your operating system more vulnerable. That was the near-consensus of reading the first few hits in a search engine...for what that's worth...

Hence I removed this command from my routine system maint.
