[Howto]: setup auto DNS with netconfig

[stefanobartoletti]

Have you already checked elsewhere?

• I have read the Devilbox documentation
• I have checked the Devilbox Troubleshooting Guide
• I have checked the Devilbox FAQ
• I have checked the Devilbox Howto
• I have checked the Devilbox Forum
• I have checked existing issues
• I have googled already with no luck
• I have not done any of the above

What are you struggling with?

I'm trying to setup permanent Auto DNS with no luck.

My .env is correctly setup with these values:

LOCAL_LISTEN_ADDR=

and

HOST_PORT_BIND=53

The Non-permanent solution of manually editing /etc/resolv.conf works as intended, I prepended nameserver 127.0.0.1 to existing entries and my Devilbox projects are correctly accessed by their <my-project>.loc addresses.

Anyway, the permanent solution is not working.

In my /etc/dhclient.conf I have added prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; as the first line, but it isn't working.

Looks like in openSUSE resolv.conf is managed by netconfig, and I can't find in Devilbox docs how to set it up with this configuration

What have you tried already?

I've tried to follow the Devilbox documentation, but it does not explain how to setup netconfig to update resolv.conf at system boot.

What is your goal?

Implement Auto DNS.

I managed to solve this with some Googling in the end.

I had to edit some properties in /etc/sysconfig/network/config with these values (or just make sure that these were already set this way):

NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver"

###

NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS="127.0.0.1"

###

NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="STATIC NetworkManager"
