Linux tricks for 400: You are chrooted into an read-only image and don't have a working name server, as /etc/resolv.conf does not exist. What do you do?

Bind mount only works if the target file exists. I had a solution without overlayfs.

run a local dns server I suppose ("If this file does not exist, only the name server on the local machine will be queried")

depends on whether the host is also a read-only grml, because if not I can just run the dns server there (it's not a container, just a chroot)
otherwise, a quick google suggests that grml has socat, so use that to forward dns requests.
Replying to
Yes, but it's an old Grml 2018 and "apt install unbound" didn't do anything useful.

assuming no socat, you might also be able to iptables-NAT an existing DNS server, but that might fail depending on how a locally running DNS server is detected. but worth a try?
