I cannot set up DNS in the X-UI configuration

[Nightmarest]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using the latest major release. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I'm using the supported system. Only such systems are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, log, etc).

Description of the problem,screencshot would be good

I cannot set up this configuration. I check the official V2RAY documentation, but the config.json installed from your panel, after any "dns: null" changes and further panel restart, just resets the configuration file back

config:

  "dns": {
    "hosts": {
      "baidu.com": "127.0.0.1"
    },
    "servers": [
      {
        "address": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 53,
        "domains": [
          "geosite:cn"
        ]
      },
      "8.8.8.8",
      "8.8.4.4",
      "localhost"
    ],
    "clientIp": "0.0.0.0",
    "tag": "dns_inbound"
  },

Version of x-ui

$ x-ui version
# Paste output here

x-ui[1407474]: 2023/01/10 16:05:54 x-ui-english 0.2.1.2

x-ui log or xray log

Hi there @Nightmarest !

Please refer the following code snippet and customize it according to your dns severs.

"dns": {
    "hosts": {
      "dns.google": [
        "8.8.8.8",
        "8.8.4.4"
      ],
      "dns.pub": "119.29.29.29",
      "dns.alidns.com": "223.5.5.5"
    },"

Use it after the api segment

Okay. I am try this later

[Nightmarest]

it does not work

It prevents you from making absolutely NO changes to the file. Even if I want to change the connection settings somewhere, it will roll back everything again

P.S. - Check file json.go

I'm facing the same issue trying to use pi-hole and x-ui together

Apparently the config.json file is overridden with the contents of the sqlite database at /etc/x-ui/x-ui.db.

I tried modifying the database directly by installing (apt install sqlite3 on debian based distros) and editing the db:

sqlite3 /etc/x-ui/x-ui.db

UPDATE settings SET value = '
{
HERE PASTE CONTENTS OF CONFIG.JSON
}'
WHERE key = 'xrayTemplateConfig';

I've seen the file change after restarting the x-ui; however the clients don't seem to be using the DNS servers.
