I have the technitium cluster configured, with second node joined to the cluster. Initial zone sync seem to work but now status of primary node is unreachable from secondary

I see follwoing in the logs

I understand .NET is not officially support on Freebsd.

Got Technitium up and running, web interface is accessible, DNS resolution and blocking works fine.

Only issue I am encountering at the momember is SQLite suppport. Any attempt to create/join cluster causes following error. Any way to fix this?
