vagrant-dns allows you to configure a dns-server managing a development subdomain. It works much like pow, but manages Vagrant machines.
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-dns
Attention: As of v2.0.0, vagrant-dns requires vagrant >= 1.9.6 (because it ships with a more modern version of ruby)
If you get an error like rubydns requires Ruby version >= 2.2.6. while installing, you probably need to upgrade vagrant.
Alternatively, you can install an older version of vagrant-dns like this: vagrant plugin install --plugin-version="<2" vagrant-dns
In addition to your networking config, configure a top-level domain and a hostname for your machine. Optionally, configure a set of free matching patterns. Global configuration options can be given through the VagrantDNS::Config object:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# ...
config.dns.tld = "test"
config.vm.hostname = "machine"
config.dns.patterns = [/^(\w+\.)*mysite\.test$/, /^(\w+\.)*myothersite\.test$/]
config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "33.33.33.60"
end
# optional
VagrantDNS::Config.logger = Logger.new("dns.log")Then, register the DNS server as a resolver:
$ vagrant dns --installThis command will write out a configuration file that tells the operating system to resolve the .test TLD via the vagrant-dns DNS server. On OS X, this config file is located at /etc/resolver/test while on Linux it's at /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/vagrant-dns.conf.
You will have to rerun --install every time a tld is added.
You can delete this file by running:
$ vagrant dns --uninstallTo also delete the created config file for this TLD (~/.vagrant.d/tmp/dns/resolver/test or ~/.vagrant.d/tmp/dns/resolver/vagrant-dns.conf in our example) run:
$ vagrant dns --purgeThen, run the DNS server:
$ vagrant dns --startAnd test it:
OS X:
$ scutil --dns
[ … ]
resolver #8
domain : test
nameserver[0] : 127.0.0.1
port : 5300
[ … ]
$ dscacheutil -q host -a name test.machine.test
name: test.machine.test
ip_address: 33.33.33.10Linux:
$ resolvectl status
Global
Protocols: LLMNR=resolve -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
resolv.conf mode: stub
DNS Domain: ~test
[ … ]
$ resolvectl query test.machine.test
test.machine.test: 33.33.33.10
-- Information acquired via protocol DNS in 10.1420s.
-- Data is authenticated: no; Data was acquired via local or encrypted transport: noNote: Mac OS X is quite different from Linux regarding DNS resolution. As a result, do not use
dig or nslookup, but dscacheutil instead. Read this article
for more information.
You can now reach the server under the given domain.
$ vagrant dns --stopThe DNS server will start automatically once the first VM is started.
You can list the currently configured dns patterns using:
$ vagrant dns --list(Keep in mind, that it's not guaranteed that the running server uses exactly this configuration - for example, when manually editing it.)
The output looks somewhat like this:
/^.*mysite.test$/ => 33.33.33.60
/^.*myothersite.test$/ => 33.33.33.60
Where the first part of each line is a regular expression and the second part is the mapped IPv4. (=> is just a separator)
We can use multivm configuration and have dns names for host.
- Use below given vagrant config
BOX_IMAGE = "ubuntu/xenial64" WORKER_COUNT = 2 Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| (1..WORKER_COUNT).each do |i| config.vm.define "worker#{i}" do |subconfig| subconfig.dns.tld = "test" subconfig.vm.hostname = "vagrant" subconfig.dns.patterns = "worker#{i}.mysite.test" subconfig.vm.box = BOX_IMAGE subconfig.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.240.0.#{i+15}" end end end
vagrant up- Execute :
vagrant dns --install - Test via:
ping worker2.mysite.boxorworker1.mysite.box
vm.dns.tld: Set the tld for the given virtual machine. No default.vm.dns.tlds: Set multiple TLDs. Default:[tld]vm.dns.patterns: A list of domain patterns to match. Defaults to[/^.*{host_name}.{tld}$/]vm.dns.ip: Optional, overwrite of the default static IP detection. Valid values are:Proc: A Proc which return value will get used as IP. Eg:proc { |vm, opts| }(See DHCP section for full sample)Symbol: Forces the use of the named static network::private_network: Use static ip of a configured private network (config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4"):public_network: Use static ip of a configured public network (config.vm.network "public_network", ip: "192.168.0.17"):dynamic,:dhcp: Force reading the guest IP using vagrants build-inread_ip_addresscapability.
- Default:
If there is no network with a statically defined IP, and no
ipoverride is given, use the build-inread_ip_addresscapability. Else, check:private_network, if none found check:public_network
VagrantDNS::Config.listen: an Array of Arrays describing interfaces to bind to. Defaults to[[:udp, "127.0.0.1", 5300]].VagrantDNS::Config.ttl: The time-to-live in seconds for all resources. Defaults to300(5 minutes).VagrantDNS::Config.auto_run: (re)start and reconfigure the server every time a machine is started. On by default.VagrantDNS::Config.check_public_suffix: Check if you are going to configure a Public Suffix (like a Top Level Domain) in a VMstld(s)config, which could mess up your local dev machines DNS config. Possible configuration values are:false: Disables the feature."warn": Check and print a warning. (Still creates a resolver config and potentially messes up your DNS) At the moment, this is the default because lots of projects used to use"dev"as a TLD, but this got registered by google and is now a public suffix."error": Check and prevent the box from starting. (Does not create the resolver config, it will also prevent the box from starting.)
VagrantDNS::Config.passthrough: Configure how to deal with non-matching DNS queries. Will be set tofalseif nopassthrough_resolvercould be detected, or none is set.true: (default) Every non-matching query is passed through to the upstream DNS server (seepassthrough_resolver)false: Disable passthrough. Every non-A-query to a matching pattern fails withNotImp. Every other query fails withNXDomain.:unknown: Only forward queries for which there's no matching pattern. Every non-A-query to a matching pattern fails withNotImp. Every other query will be passed through.
VagrantDNS::Config.passthrough_resolver: By default, DNS queries not matching any patterns will be passed to an upstream DNS server.:system: (Default) pass through to the system configured default DNS server[[:udp, "1.1.1.1", 53], [:tcp, "1.1.1.1", 53]]: an Array of Arrays describing the DNS server(s) to use. (Protocol, IP, Port)
If you need to be able to resolve custom domains managed by this plugin from inside your virtual machine (and you're using VirtualBox), add the following
setting to your Vagrantfile:
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
# ...
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vm_config, override|
vm_config.customize [
"modifyvm", :id,
"--natdnshostresolver1", "on",
# some systems also need this:
# "--natdnshostresolver2", "on"
]
end
endBy default, the Virtualbox NAT engine offers the same DNS servers to the guest that are configured on the host. With the above setting, however, the NAT engine will act as a DNS proxy (see Virtualbox docs). That way, queries for your custom domains from inside the guest will also be handled by the DNS server run by the plugin.
When configuring your VM with a DHCP network, vagrant-dns tries to identify the guest IP using vagrants build-in read_ip_address capability.
For more fine-grained control use the ip config.
Here is an example using the VM's default way of communication and using the hostname command on it:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# ...
# - `vm` is the vagrant virtual machine instance and can be used to communicate with it
# - `opts` is the vagrant-dns options hash (everything configured via `config.dns.*`)
config.dns.ip = -> (vm, opts) do
# note: the block handed to `execute` might get called multiple times, hence this closure
ip = nil
vm.communicate.execute("hostname -I | cut -d ' ' -f 1") do |type, data|
ip = data.strip if type == :stdout
end
ip
end
endNOTES: In order to obtain the IP in this way, the vagrant box needs to be up and running. You will get a log output (Postponing running user provided IP script until box has started.) when you try to run vagrant dns on a non-running box.
- macOS and systemd-resolved enabled Linux only (please read: Platform Support before ranting about this).
Arecords only- No IPv6 support
- Not automatically visible inside the box (special configuration of your guest system or provider needed)
