Additional Considerations for Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 18.04 may use a non-standard DNS resolver. When you use a non-standard DNS resolver, mongorestore returns an error message like:
error parsing uri: lookup <HOSTNAME> on 127.0.0.53:53: cannot unmarshal DNS message
To resolve the problem, edit /etc/resolv.conf to point to a different DNS resolver.
