Can't configure my own DNS servers

I am running Umbrel OS on a Raspberry Pi4. I want to be able to configure my own DNS servers, but I can't seem to figure out how to either from the GUI or after I SSH into the machine.

I have tried to alter the "/etc/resolv.conf" file after I SSH in, but after I reboot the machine it overrides it with Cloudflare DNS servers.

nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 1.0.0.1

I feel that configuring network-related information should be within the GUI of Umbrel OS.

Any ideas on how to do it in the meantime? My router already is configured to go to my own local DNS server, but Umbrel OS only want to go to Cloudflare.

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Then, you can change the DNS servers.
However, I'm unsure if this will be overwritten somehow later on.

@saphirblanc Changing it in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf looks to do the trick. It's now pointing to my DNS server. Thanks

Great suggestion @Smith334. Happy to confirm that changing DNS servers via the UI is planned for the next umbrelOS release (1.0.5).
