I'm using nginx mainly as an http(s) proxy, for this I need to provision some domain names, which nginx tries to resolve (DNS) at startup.
If I start nginx manually (using systemctl start) after the pc has completely booted, this works just fine, however when just enabling it for autostart I get the following issue (mydomainname is something that normally would actually resolve, I just hid it here):
$ systemctl status nginx

I am using ubuntu 15.10, I use the standard nginx package. What I already tried:
- Change After in systemd script from network.target to network-online.target
- Add nss-lookup.target to the After
- Put it to all three: network.target network-online.target nss-lookup.target
But it keeps giving that error.
